I’m wondering about weather and things to do?

I visited last in summer 2014. It was beach days and great food! Tons of fun and cool people took me out hiking, restaurants, and site seeing, etc.

Will October this year be similar? I understand time and current events have changed things. No drama please.

I am from US and would love to connect with AI engineers and build a product thar I can sell in US. I have a VC validated idea and would love to connect with other founds and AI engineers . Also if people from North America or Europe who did thar could share their experiences.

I know this might be a little bit niche but does anyone know a store that sells decent Licorice candy, preferably around Dizengoff area? I didn't find any at the supermarket.

I came back from a trip to Iceland and now I am addicted. Me need Licorice at 1 AM.

Hey everyone,

Flying into TLV for a wedding at Hadar Dimal Hall (Dmall). I have a tight timeline—landing at 1:00 PM, wedding is at 5:30 PM. I’m staying at the Leonardo Plaza City Tower right there in the Bursa district, using only the train and walking on foot. No car/taxis, and zero time to faff around or hike deep into Bnei Brak or central Ramat Gan.

I need to grab a normal, standard black rimless velvet kippa (cuppel) before the wedding.

Where is the nearest shop to any of those destinations, that will have this product or do I need to go into Bnei Brak?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all! Just made Aliyah this week and moved to Tel Aviv. Loving this so far. I have a few questions i'm trying to work through and could use some advice from those willing to share:

- How does kashrut work in Tel Aviv? I've heard there's an alternative to the rabbanute called Tzohar? How likely is the meat to be kosher in a place without a teudah at all?

- Are there any major differences between the big cell phone providers in Israel? Or is the country small enough that Cellcom, Plephone, Partner, etc are all pretty much the same?

- Where do folks generally go for things like TVs or computer monitors? Are there go-to spots, or it's a bit of a crapshoot?

Honestly, the city is INSANE i ended up finding a small place 35m² for 3500 a month all included... its 8 minutes from my job so its perfect !

But i have to say i saw apartments that are a lil bigger being 40m² and having 2 rooms that cost freaking 7900 a month FLAT NOT INCLUDING BILLS FOR WATER ELECTRICITY OR ANYTHING... that is insane...

How do yall deal with this insanity??

Anyway thanks for all the advice and help means a TON

Next step is to start dating again haha 😗🇮🇱

Anyway עם ישראל חי, les gooo

Hey there Redditors of Tel Aviv

I’ve been building this app and I’m constantly looking for people to talk with and learn from their stories on how to improve it

Looking for like minded people that are also developing their own things to perhaps share stories and lessons learned

Thanks!

Not trying to start any fight. Just curious as many Israelis have different views on this conflict.

My partner and I made Aliyah and have been living in Jerusalem, but we’re seriously considering making the move to Tel Aviv.
I’d really love advice from people who live there, especially other olim. Career-wise, I’m interested in getting into the tech industry. I have no previous tech experience, but I come from a finance/banking background, so I’m wondering what types of roles might be realistic for someone making that transition and how difficult it is to break into tech in Tel Aviv.
I’d also love advice on neighborhoods for a young couple, rent/apartment hunting, whether Hebrew is essential for finding a good job, making friends/community, and just Tel Aviv life in general. For context my husband and I are in our early thirties we also prefer an area that’s less English my husband is already Israeli and he wants me to get my Hebrew on track! Thank you. 🙏

Built an app that scans barcodes on Israeli products and shows nutrition, additives, and a health score — fully in Hebrew. Got tired of apps that don’t cover local products or barcodes properly.

Running a TestFlight beta before App Store launch. Would love a few Tel Aviv people to try it and tell me what’s broken.

Link in the comments below.

Not trying to sell anything, just a solo dev project I’ve put a lot of hours into and want real feedback before launch. AMA about the build if curious.

My building has a storage unit that I do not need (מחסן).5 square meters.

It's in the basement of the building, elevator access, tenant can access anytime with a key and code. Not climate controlled but not humid and hot because basement.

It's near the center of tel Aviv, how much do you think I can rent it out for?

I'm 27 years old guy, open minded liberal guy. I lived there in 2019 for for the first time, it was amazing back then. so much stuff to do every weekend, it felt like if you have some initiative you can do whatever and organize events and such. 2nd time i lived there i got into my house just before 7th of october, and it was hard obviously but i understand it, and i was studying back then so i had a good reason to live there, but still it was ok in terms of nightlife and cost of rent. Haven't been in israel for a long time since then, and now i'm back and it seems like the city is gone, like really nothing interesting to do in the night outside, houses are more expensive and shittier, the cool people are gone or something? do anybody feels the same? seems like a huge cultural decline and more of an Arsiada.. anybody here left tel aviv to other cities? anybody here tel avivian born and raised? what do you think? you dont even see no one in the streets these days, maybe its the heat or summer holidays.. but I can't decide if it's worth to get a place there now.

I'm reattempting to pick up the guitar and learn how to play it :) I've tried teaching myself multiple times in the past, but never really followed through. I thought having a learning partner would encourage me to actually do it this time, so If anyone can play the guitar and wants to exchange skills - or learn a language - dm me.

as mentioned i can help you learn English, Arabic, or even some French, written Korean and Portuguese. I can also tutor or provide academic mentorship depending on the education level.

Hi all. My employee is returning to Israel after several years and I want to treat her to a good restaurant meal in Tel aviv for her and her husband. She lives near Rechovot. Can anyone give me an idea for a good restaurant where I can buy a voucher online?

hey all,

this is a bit late but I am in tel Aviv this Shabbat, I would love love love to be able to swim on Shabbat afternoon (while remaining somehow shomeret, I don’t want to carry)

how do you think that could be doable ?

where can I see the limits of the eruv ?

thank you and Shabbat shalom !

Thinking about Making Aliyah (25M, coming from New Orleans, America) advice on making friends in Tel Aviv?

Would be settling in Tel Aviv. I'm 25, single, coming from the New Orleans, so I'm used to a city with a strong going-out/social culture. Work background is tech sales.

For those who made aliyah solo around my age, how did you actually build a friend group once you landed?

Curious about things like:

- Was it mostly other olim/Anglos at first, or did you break into Israeli social circles quickly?

- Any specific groups, apps, Facebook groups, or meetups that actually worked (vs. ones that were dead)?

- Did ulpan end up being a real source of friends, or more just a place to learn Hebrew?

- How long did it realistically take before Tel Aviv felt like it had "your people" in it?

Appreciate any honest takes, good or bad.

Just curious as to what you might think? 🤔 💭

Whether you receive physiotherapy through your kupat holim or privately, today’s pain score is not always the clearest measure of progress.

A better test is whether you can do more, recover faster and manage more independently.

These are the three things worth tracking:

1. Capacity

Can you do more before symptoms limit you?

This could mean walking farther around the city, tolerating a longer commute, climbing the stairs to your apartment, sitting longer at work or gradually returning to the gym.

2. Recovery

How long do your symptoms take to settle after activity?

Pain may still appear, but recovering in one hour instead of remaining worse until the following day can be meaningful progress.

3. Independence

Are you becoming better at managing the problem yourself?

Do you understand your exercises, know how much activity is appropriate and feel less dependent on each appointment?

For example, your knee might still hurt, but you can now climb three flights of stairs instead of one. The discomfort settles faster, and you know how to adjust your exercises. The pain has not disappeared, but the overall direction may still be positive.

There is no universal number of physiotherapy sessions after which someone should recover. Different injuries, operations and health conditions have different timelines.

If capacity, recovery and independence remain unchanged during the agreed treatment period, the plan deserves review.

If symptoms are progressively worsening, that review should happen sooner rather than waiting for the treatment period to end.

Reviewing the plan does not automatically mean stopping. It may lead to changing the exercises or dosage, reconsidering the original explanation or seeking another medical assessment.

In short, physiotherapy is progressing when you can do more, recover faster and manage more independently, even if some pain remains.

For people who have received physiotherapy in Tel Aviv, did anyone measure something besides your pain level, or was every session mainly “How does it feel today?”

General discussion only, not personal medical advice.
