from the Editor

After a long break, Holy Falafel is back! What started in 2010 as a sarcastic take on life here is now returning with a fresh mix of humor and practical advice geared towards non-Jews and non-Israelis living in the Holy Land. While I’ll still be sharing the lighter side of things (because let’s be honest, you have to laugh to survive here), the focus this time is on providing genuinely useful guides for navigating life in Jerusalem – from finding the best eats to understanding the local customs and quirks.

Thank you to everyone who’s followed this journey, and welcome to new readers. Let’s explore this vibrant place together!
