Ease your holiday eve burdens with food, attractions, shopping, and cherry picking all in Jerusalem's historic 'First Station' promenade!
In Jerusalem for Rosh Hashana? Are you a native, or just visiting? Sure, there are a ton of bases to cover, and you’re probably looking for some ways to relax and enjoy the environment ahead of the important day. Let’s cover some logistical and spiritual tips that will make your life easier.
We know how it is. One parent at home, the other outside with the kids. What’s open on Erev Rosh Hashana? The First Station promenade (known locally as the Tachana Rishona) has food, attractions, and shopping for the whole family. Entrance is free. If you can drive a bit, there is cherry picking at nearby Kibbutz Ramat Rachel… fun and yum!
New year, same result: Rosh Hashana is so monumental and inspiring. You think to yourself, “This year will be different.” That might be true, but when it comes to improving your Divine service, your health, or your relationships the rule is "less is more." Why? Because you’ll actually do "less" as opposed to starting off strong with a flamboyant resolution and finding yourself on your third slice of mousse cake by the second day of the holiday. In the end, doing less really is more.
