🧳Expert Tip #6: Fall in Love with a Home—After You’ve Got the Money Ready

🔍 Buyer Beware: 10 Real Estate Myths Busted
What every buyer in Jerusalem needs to know (but no one tells you).
💥Myth #3: “Great view” means forever and ever
Reality: Sometimes, “panoramic” means “peek-a-boo.” Views in Jerusalem are almost never protected — and could vanish when a new building goes up across the street.
What we check:
✔️ Is the view legally protected?
✔️ Is nearby land zoned for high-rise development?
✔️ What’s the future of the surrounding skyline?

If you think you know sabich, think again. Aricha (Rabbanut) takes this humble pita to legendary levels with crispy eggplant, perfectly jammy eggs, housemade amba, and serious flavor layering. Come hungry, leave obsessed.
Joni & Kubaneh (Mehadrin) is serving up Yemenite comfort food with a serious soul. Their kubaneh is golden, fluffy, and dangerously addictive, especially when dipped into zhug, eggs, and rich tomato sauce. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to bring your out-of-town friends to prove Jerusalem’s got game.
