Do not miss this if you visit Jerusalem on Friday. To share a traditional Jewish Sabbath dinner with a local family, together with people from different parts of the world and from different backgrounds is a wonderful experience. And you are guaranteed to be plenty satisfied. The price also includes a nice little booklet of songs, prayers, recipes and more to have that memory.
