Shabbat Attire
We recommend modest dress for religious sites - shirts with at least short sleeves for both men and women, a skirt covering the knees for women (a jacket and tie are not necessary).

Out on the town clothing...
You can wear exactly what you'd wear here. For example, a nice shirt and pants or a casual skirt. Comfortable walking shoes are essential. FYI- many of the streets are paved with stone...it's challenging to wear shoes with awkward heels/soles on uneven pavement.

Toiletries
In Israel, most of the same products they sell in America are available, although they are at a substantially higher cost:

• Shampoo/Conditioner • Soap • Toothbrush • Toothpaste • Deodorant • Lip balm • Razor • After-shave • Band-Aids

• Tampons/pads • Sunscreen • Tylenol/ Ibuprofen • Eyeglasses/ contact lenses • Anti-bacterial hand lotion • Any prescription medicine (acquiring the generic name is recommended)

Other
A few more suggestions that will make your trip to Israel more comfortable:

• Batteries • Tissue Packs • Sunglasses • Photocopy of your passport • Gum/ candy
