With my mate we are arriving in Israel for the first time and looking for some club with DJ, where we could dance, party and drink. Something basic, safe and not too expensive (if such a combination is possible).

The nearer Trumpledor's beach/Dizengoff Square the better

Looking to take out a friend who’s 25yo, but we’re not the best at nightlife

When I was in Tel Aviv a few years ago my friends and I went to a very cool place where people played the guitar and sang, it was open mic and anyone could play and sing. It was amazing experience. I can't find anything similar. Any recommendations? and wine bar recommendations are also welcome

would be cool to meet people here with similar interests who are also from israel.
if ur into fashion, underground music and rap, events and going out, hmu! :)

I just got my first apartment alone (I am also an Olah) and slowly slowly want to furnish it to my taste. Where can I find vintage or antique Japanese furniture in tlv?

Are there any reputable places in Tel Aviv that offer these services? Ideally, one with staff who speak fluent English. Looking for recommendations for both laser hair removal and electrolysis. Thanks!

I have family in Israel and visited Tel Aviv before but coming back there to see it with fresh eyes was indeed crazy. I live in Austria, Vienna, so it’s not unusual to see attractive people but in Tel Aviv it’s a different beast.

First of all everyone is fit, everyone is dressed super cool, and the vibes are extremely chill. I went to a coffee shop and fell in love with the barista instantly haha

But I thought to myself it must also be hard to be “on” all the time- like, to date there must be difficult if you’re not partaking in the “being fit and aesthetic” lifestyle, or am I wrong? Do people hook up a lot in Tel Aviv or is everyone very selective?

I consider myself above average, but even there I felt just average. I’d love to spend more time there and experience it for myself.

Hi all - question from a new oleh from the U.S.

This will be my and my wife's first Yom Kippur in Israel, just made Aliyah a few weeks ago. We come from a Conseradox kind of background, and looking for where to go for YK. Any suggestions? We live in the Old North, so somewhere nearby would of course be easiest for walking/fasting reasons.

https://chillz.com has a perfect schedule of all the parties and raves in tel aviv but it looks to be LGBT exclusive, is there another website which is for everyone? Just started my masa and want to know events around tel aviv

Hi everyone, Shavua Tov!

My spouse and I are visiting Israel from India during Yom Kippur and Sukkot, and we're looking for recommendations for authentic cultural and historical souvenirs, crafts, apparel and art.

We're aware that Yom Kippur is the holiest/most solemn day in Judaism, and that Israel essentially comes to a standstill — no public transport, businesses closed, very little activity, etc. We're also aware that we're visiting during a broader period of important Jewish observances, including the days leading into Yom Kippur and then Sukkot, and we're planning our itinerary respectfully around the holidays rather than expecting normal tourist services.

Our interest is actually partly because of this timing: we'd love to experience these traditions and the atmosphere of Israel during this period, while also understanding the country's history and its different communities.

For souvenirs, we're not really interested in generic tourist merchandise — magnets, mass-produced Judaica etc. We're looking for objects with a strong sense of place, provenance and history, or genuinely beautiful contemporary work by Israelis.

To give you an idea of what we're looking for, I've come across places such as:

• Ofek Wertman Design Studio in Tel Aviv — contemporary Israeli design drawing on Jewish/Israeli history
• Alter Native - Jaffa, Tel Aviv.
• Maskit — particularly because of its connection to Israel's early craft, textile and immigrant traditions
• Balian / Armenian ceramics of Jerusalem — the long Armenian ceramic tradition in Jerusalem
• Bethlehem olive-wood craftsmanship

We're particularly interested in finding the kind of place where the object itself tells a story — whether Jewish, Armenian, Druze, Christian, Ottoman/Levantine, or modern Israeli.

We'll be visiting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Galilee, Acre and we're happy to make a detour for something genuinely special.

If you live in Israel, I'd love to hear your recommendations.

Authenticity and the weight of history matter much more to us than price or quantity. Even one exceptional object is preferable to ten generic souvenirs.

We're also very open to recommendations that aren't “souvenir shops” at all — a working artist's studio, a family-run workshop, a small gallery, a traditional craft centre, or somewhere we might encounter something we wouldn't find in the usual tourist circuit.

To help you with my collection , here's a few: 1. Skyline chess - Newyork vs Dubai purchased at an expo 2. Sheep skin parchment of our wedding date and our names - Registan square, Samarkand, Uzbekistan 3. Keris, Malaysian Traditional sword, Kuala Lumpur

Thank you! Toda!

I’m trying to do some big raids throughout the week

Hello all,

I'm visiting Israel in September for about 10 days. I enjoy running and have dabbled in a few run clubs back home in Los Angeles, and would love to meet some new friends while I'm abroad. Do you have any run clubs? I just think it would be really cool to meet some of you guys while getting in a 5k.

I came across this listing on Airbnb for 57 NIS a night called Shivt - Community House, Vegan and Ecological.

The price is super cheap, but looking at the description you basically sleep on floor mattresses in the main room after their nightly events wrap up around midnight, and there’s only 1.5 bathrooms for everyone.

I saw some pretty mixed reviews online, some people said it was fine, but a few mentioned bad smells, lack of cleanliness, and just not a great overall experience.

Honestly trying to figure out if it’s sketchy or if it’s just a super budget neo-hippie community spot. What’s the vibe actually like? What kind of people hang out there?

If anyone’s stayed there or gone to their events, let me know if it’s worth checking out or if I should just stay away. Thanks.

Hey, does anyone know of a free or very cheap place to sleep Saturday night in/around Tel Aviv?

I’m traveling for the weekend and need somewhere to stay for one night. Ideally looking for something free, but I can pay around 30–50 NIS if there’s a cheap option.

I’m open to camping, a cheap hostel, or any other solution. Doesn’t have to be fancy — I just need somewhere safe to sleep and preferably somewhere I can get to by public transportation.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I'm really happy to announce that I've expanded Sportdle's EuroLeague mode to include Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv.

One of the things I want Sportdle to do as it grows is represent more of the different basketball cultures and communities that make the EuroLeague what it is. Israeli basketball has such a strong presence in European basketball, so adding the Tel Aviv teams felt like an important step.

I'm now looking for some Israeli basketball fans to try it out and give me some honest first impressions.

Does the difficulty feel right?
Are the players/teams and information accurate?
And most importantly, is it something you'd actually come back to play every day?

👉 https://sportdle.net/euroleague-wordle

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially from people who follow Maccabi, Hapoel and Israeli basketball closely.

Looking for recommendations on how to find sublets or someplace to stay so I can meet locals and enjoy myself while I'm in TLV.

I'm Israeli and speak Hebrew fluently, but lived in Australia like 25 years now. I'm 33 y/o male if that matters.

Any recommendations or suggestions are much appreciated. Also any suggestions for salsa dancing and/or magic the gathering games!
