This, by the way, is a huge problem for a German expat in IL (back in DE now) during Passover. Not only do they hide bread, there's a certain golden drink that is just as off limits in all the 'following' supermarkets and that's quite interesting. (I kid. Yes, you don't get bread and beer, in theory. Tel Aviv has lots of shops that aren't Jewish or don't care or .. so it's mostly a sight to be seen and a way to explore the city, looking for more accommodating places..)

I was lost here for a minute until I finally realized that IL was Israel not Illinois.

    Unsurprisingly there is a very large population that doesn't reside in the United States of America.

      I got a US phone number via Skype, simply because so many of my American clients had no idea how to call internationally. Similarly, for many of my US clients, I provide them with their first-ever opportunity to send a letter (i.e., my check) via international mail.

        I'm kind of curious why it makes sense to get a US number to accommodate clients who can't (?!) make international calls, but not to get a mail forwarding service with a US address.

        I receive, at absolute most, 2-3 US checks in the mail each month. It's not worth paying for such a mail-forwarding service, when I can just tell people, "Go to the post office, ask for a stamp to Israel, and hand it to the postal clerk." Plus, the US number comes with free unlimited calling to the US, so I can call my clients (and family, to be honest) as much as I want.

Look for gluten free beer, many are (or can be) kosher for Passover.

TLV — certainly. But TLV isn't like the rest of the country
