Here's the list of free attractions for Pesach 2016, sponosred Bank HaPoalim. I have linked

*Please
note that I put a lot of effort into this post, tracking down websites
in English for your convenience. I know the Bank Hapoalim info is
available to the public in Hebrew, but this blog post has added
benefits for the English speaking community. Because it was so much
work, I request that if you plan to share this info, you link back to my
site. Thank you for this common courtesy.

Great work, Ester! (links don't work for me, though) We will likely go at least to the museum in town while we are there.
