Was there recently; here are few that I liked:
- Rampart walk – along the top of the Old City wall. Get tickets just inside Shaar Yaffa – to the left
- rebuilt Churva Shul – I think you can only go in for davening. I got lucky to be there at the right time.
- Har Hazeitim
- Ein Gedi – the cool waterfalls was much needed on such a hot day
- Kibbuts Sdei Eliyahu – Dati kibbuts that does natural agricultural methods
- City of David – just south of the Kotel. Possibly David’s own castle.
- Ammunition Hill – interactive movie with 3D model of Jerusalem that lights up
- I’m a Kohen so I could not go into the Maarat HaMachpela (yes I know there are those who are Matir, but the psak I got was ‘no’) But anyways, the pizza shop there has Great pizza.
- Speaking of food, the felafel shop across from the Cardo (where the columns are) is also really good.
- See other Yeshivot. I was glad to have brought my son the Yeshiva of Rav Yaacov Hillel. Unfortunately for me, he was giving shiur, but it was real powerhouse of hatmada. I’m glad to have seen that and show my son that.
- Don’t forget about the people there. See the specialness in them also.
