Where is Palestine?

[@brebeccablum4693]

Tel Aviv is my absolute favorite city in the world. Love it here and hope to make it my permanent home one day (hopefully i get rich enough) The shekel is a pretty solid currency and Israel has a strong economy. The reason everything is extremely expensive is because Tel Aviv is currently the most expensive city on the planet according to Forbes and many other indexes. The cost of living in Tel Aviv is currently the highest in the world. I dont recall ever getting a decent cup of latte or americano for under 14 NIS or 4.25 USD For reference its about 3.3 NIS to 1 USD

[@AlexG-oo8kt]

As an Israeli-Canadian your last few videos have been really lovely to watch. Glad you've enjoyed your trip (minus the food poisoning -- sorry!) and that you had lots to explore as a vegan. Tel Aviv is always a treat for vegans. Thank you as well for coming to *listen* about the conflict and focus on learning and sharing first hand experiences. As foreigners, that is the absolute best thing you can do. Looking forward to your next adventure!

You guys are great. I visited Israel, for the first time, this past April. I spent 11 days of my vacation and I agree with your assessment about some of the prices, especially when it comes to accommodations and culinary in general. Pricey, indeed. Regardless of how pricey certain things can be in Israel, I loved every minute of my time over there. 😎

[@mirelleinisrael]

It's so pricey, for us Israelis too. It's unbearable right now, we are very upset with the rise in prices. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your time her though.

[@adihaddad]

Just an FYI - Jewish food is a mix between Eastern Europe (Ashkenazi Jews) like you are familiar with, and Middle Eastern cuisines (as there are many Jews that immigrated from North Africa, Iraq, Iran Turkey, etc). What you see on American TV shows usually represent Ashkenazi Jewish culture because most Jews in the US are Ashkenazi. While in Israel more than 50% of Jews are Mizrahi.

[@bob-wo3ir]

And everyone agrees the Ashkenazi food is dog food compared to the Mizrahi food.

Lovely video of my city. Glad you guys liked it 😍😍 I also visited Sweden and loved it. Especially Gamla Stan old town in Stockholm. Of course also the northern Swedish Lapland as well. I would also add Florentine neighborhood, upper part of Rothschild boulevard and Hayarkon park. Water is cold until mid June, but then it gets warm and really fun to bathe at night as well. YES it's ridiculously expensive also for us 😬

[@olgaantoshkin9636]

I very much enjoyed your trip to Israel. It is hard to visit the whole country in 9 days, even though Israel is tiny, but you maximized your stay there and managed to visit key places and did some very cool activities. I hope you will come back sometime in the future and visit the northern part of the country. The city of Haifa, the northern "rocky" beaches near Rosh Hanikra, lake Kinneret - better known as the Sea of Galilee and the most beautiful part of Israel in my opinion - the Golan Heights - picturesque nature with lots of history. Enjoy your next country 😊

Israel is indeed obscenely expensive. Shabbat is observed only by religious Israelis. The reason you see hotels with Shabbat elevators is because the hotel owners don't want to miss out on the religious population in Israel. Secular Israelis don't need Shabbat elevators.

Tel Aviv!!! Yea!! Israel-- biggest pride parade in world!! Shabbat!! Even in Tel Aviv! Israel is a religious country, where they DON'T separate "church and state", so a lot of State run things are closed. Hotels are kosher supervised--so no hot food on Shabbat... 😢 And yes, it has a Berlin vibe...largely bc half of Israel is Ashkenaz! (And the other half are Sephardi!) Tofutti spread!! Yummy! Created by David Mintz, an Orthodox Jew from New Jersey!! So glad you enjoyed!! Todah Raba! (Thank you very much in Hebrew!)

[@mrraidamotovlog9970]

Israel is amaizing !

[@the-mayo-master6600]

cool video! about what was said on the topic of "shabat", this is not exactly true. almost every hotel is observant, because otherwise they would losse a lot of religous jews who won't come to the hotel (it is called "teudat kashrut" which mean the place complitely fulfills all the judaism rules). but, it is not really an issue in other places. in a secular place like tel - aviv, or pretty much everywhere except of certain places and religous cities, a lot of things are still open in Shabat. also in places like Judda dessert (where the dead sea is) and in the north of the country there are a lot of muslims or druze who would be happy to serve you in Shabbat.

[@bidenhasdementia6804]

Don’t take this the wrong way but I don’t think it was food poisoning, Israel is one of the cleanest countries in the world. I think it was the intense and severely physically taxing experience of hiking Masada so early and not getting much sleep that just backfired in your body. Food poisoning last a lot longer. And a lot of times you lose massive amounts of weight from constant puking

It turned out to be campylobacter, so definitely from food.

Beautiful city. Sorry about the health issues but it points out the wisdom of traveling in one's younger years. You can recover more quickly from setbacks. As a senior traveler the possibility of medical issues overseas increasingly makes travel riskier. Your age also affords you much more energy (and you two cover ground like jungle cats) and you can experience much more than those of us who need to go pause for naps, meds, and bourbon.
