I will be in Israel during the final week of February. I have lots set up and will divide my time between Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Efrat. I might be visiting Sderot, also.
Anyway, I’m coming back, people!

Yes, it’s been too long Snogsie. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Lucky thing! I’m a newbie here, I love this blog (and your name) and have recommended it to a friend already!
Chas, you asked about comedy in Israel in another post.
There’s a stand-up gig in Jerusalem, run by a guy called David. I’ve spoken to him but can’t recall his details. Nice guy.
Google “Stand up comedy Jerusalem” and you should find it.
And if you go, for heaven’s sake tell us about it! Pleeeeeease!
Thanks Jill for your kind words about this blog and the suggestion!
Jill/Chas – the “comedy guy” is David Kilimnick and the place is the “Off the Wall Comedy Basement”. It’s under the Mashbir on King George Street. Go to: http://www.israelcomedy.com/eindex.html for more info and contact details.

for myself, to meet Chas again
Elan Miller – thank you, but Israel won’t have to wait much longer: we’re coming home very soon!
Enjoy your visit to Israel, Chas. But be warned, it’s shit cold at the moment (cold in Israeli terms, not in British terms)… hopefully it won’t be by the time you get here, though Jerusalem will probably be freezing anyway. It’s a mountain, it’s a given.
