Shabbat meals in Hiriketiya
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat, so Friday-night dinner and Shabbat lunch are at the Chabad house. Register ahead - most close bookings by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within walking distance of the Chabad house. There is no driving on Shabbat, and it is the difference between a relaxed meal and a long walk back in the dark.
