How do I meet people in Jerusalem?
When we asked people living in Jerusalem about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"I highly recommend a small French restaurant in downtown Jerusalem called "Cavaliere". They offer a great selection of wines from all over the world as well as great food. It's a bit pricey but a special business lunch menu is available. Also I recommend "Sakura" restaurant for Japanese cousine lovers. It's a small place but offers a great selection of sushi, maki etc as well as salads and other lapanese dishes. In my opinion this is the most authentic japanese restaurant in Jerusalem," remarked one member in Jerusalem.
What is life like in Jerusalem?
When we asked people living in Jerusalem what life is like and how people spend their time, they said:
"60% of the population is very religious and places close on Sabath (on Friday around 3 pm till Saturday's sunset). You may not be able to find a grocery store that is open around this time, so buy food before Sabath," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Jerusalem.
