I myself did it and know plenty of others too. Firstly, pots, pans and dishes can and should be purchased in Israel – Israeli’s cook and eat with utensils too. Second of all, pay the extra $70 for both yourself and your husband and take 2 suitcases each – think of it as the plane ticket having cost you $70 more. Third of all pillows and blankets are sold in Israel too – you only need your actual linen sets. Forth of all, find out if you know anyone else going and taking only one suitcase – pay them $70 to take a second one for you. You’ll probably need between 7-8 suitcases all together so try to find 3-4 people going before you who can do this favor for you. Good luck
