NEWS (and an exclusive discount!)

Ok. I know it looks a lot like I abandoned all of you... But I haven't - at least not intentionally!

I mentioned recently that we had something big brewing, so now it's time to let you all know what is going on here!

We opened an AWESOME business in Tzfat! It has been an incredible amount of working getting things off the ground, but now it's time to let you all know what's been going on!

The new Safed Puzzle Room is just what Tzfat (Safed)'s been waiting for! Perfect for locals and visitors, it's the best way to get to know the history and culture of Safed (Tzfat), while having mind-bending fun!

A Puzzle Room is an escape-room style activity, but you won't get locked into the room. Even so, you will definitely have an AMAZING time!

It's perfect for groups, for families, and especially awesome as a team-building activity. I'm not giving anything away, so I can't post pictures, but I would LOVE to see you there!

So, for now we're offering my blog readers a discount - mention "Kosherfrugal18" when you reserve and you'll get 10% off the published prices. This promotion won't last forever, so take advantage of it while you can!

(Reservations are required)

Hurry - discount code expires December 31, 2018! (good for bookings made from now until then!)

For more deals, be sure to like my Facebook page, and join my Deals group! See you there!

Free attractions on Yom Ha'atzmaut 2013

65 Historical sites will be open and FREE on the 65th Yom Ha'Atzmaut, next week!
These are sponsored by Misrad HaTarbut V'HaSport and the Mo'etza L'Shimur Atarey Moreshet.
That is April 16, 2013, just so there is no confusion.

I'm sure there are other places that are offering free programs or free admission.
Please add information for other places in the comments, or send a note to ester@kosherfrugal.com and I'll add it in! Thank you.

I have tried, wherever possible, to link to websites in English. There were some museums/historical sites that only had Hebrew websites, though. My apologies in advance.

Have a wonderful Yom Ha'atzmaut. May it bring us closer to the Geulah Sh'laymah! 

p.s. I just stayed up way too late researching and translating this list, so please share it with all your friends, so it will have been time REALLY well spent! :-) Thanks!

Sukkot Savings!

Doing some tiyulim/touring this Sukkot?

Don't forget to find coupons for your favorite attractions.

Some great places to look include:

Cuponofesh
 
Tzofit

Ligdol

I have found a coupon on one of these sites nearly every time we've decided to go do some expensive, touristy activity!

It also pays to check the attraction's website, some places post coupons online on their own sites.

Have fun, and moadim l'simcha!
