Allergies in Israel by Chanalee

Hi does anyone on the group have a child with food allergies? How do you manage in Israel?

Hi, Have you joined any FB groups? I have a holistic one I run. I have a feeling that Israeli children don't have food allergies, only the Olim who come here do. When you say "handle," what are you referring to? Read More

What is the cost of living in Israel? by Teddiegear

Hello Does anyone give me an idea what's the cost of living in Israel as student Thanks

I would think it's the same as a non student, but most students are willing to just rent out a room & rough it. Also depends on where you are living as far as rent, Arnona, VAD, etc. Read More
