Tel Aviv-Yafo Rosh Hashana
Posted: Sun August 26, 2007 04:12 AM UTC
How does one prepare for Rosh Hashana in Tel Aviv? I assume everything is closed beginning sundown Sept. 12, and stays closed until mozi Shabbos, Sept. 15. Is this correct? Can one make reservations at a hotel for meals only? Thanks.

Later at night As far as i know many pubs and cafe will be open
and so during the next days... Pubs / restaurants / Cafe's and even some
supermarkets will be open in central Tel Aviv.

Eating out is not a problem in Tel-Aviv. You should find restaurants open all the time. In the worst case you can always go to Jaffa and eat at an Arab resraurant. Regular supermarkets will be closed but you will find smaller stores open. There are corner stores and minimarkets (AM/PM chain, etc.) open around Tel-Aviv at all times.

The only time it will be a real problem finding anything open, or getting a taxi is Yom Kippur.

You can usually reserve meals at a hotel for Friday night & Shabbat (you will need to book ahead of time), but if the hotel is full they may only have space for their own guests, and you may have to shop around. Try to arrange for one meal with an Israeli family. Religious families often host tourists who are interested in how Shabbat or holidays are celebrated.
