NEW POLL: BEST LOCKDOWN DELIVERIES! GREAT PRIZES

We’re back with our famous Food and Drink Polls… this week we’re looking for the Best Lockdown Deliveries! The format is a little different – we’re using Google Forms – but the concept is the same… vote for your favorite delivery services. You can vote for more than one, but please only vote once. If you can’t see your favorite place on the list, please add to other and we will add. The poll closes at midnight on July 11th. We’ll also be holding a raffle for everyone who voted, with some great prizes including a 200 NIS Wolt voucher! Photo by Alon Haviv.

BEST KIBBUTZ HOTELS!

Looking to get out of the city? Kibbutz hotels are a great way to experience the Israeli countryside, chill out (most kibbutzes have a public swimming pool that is open to hotel guests), and not break the bank! Most of the best kibbutzes are in the North of Israel, especially the Golan area, but there are also a few beautiful kibbutzes closer to home in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem. Check out our new Guide to the Best Kibbutz Hotels in Israel to find the best of the best. For more of the best hotels across Israel, check out our Best Hotels Guides.

23 DAYS TO GO!

Secret Tel Aviv Facebook Group Update: We’ve given up trying to get help from Facebook to get this fixed. It looks like the group got a 90-day temporary block because an admin approved content that went against facebook community standards. The good news is that there is only 23 days to go until the ban is lifted and we can unarchive the group again. See you soon!
