Please do not plan to redeem Israel Bonds - unfortunately, this will not be possible during our trip. However if you forget something, don't worry, you can find just about everything you need in most major cities in Israel. Israel uses the metric system. Clothing and shoe sizes are also different. Here are some tables to help you make conversions.
Bars are a bit more casual, and restaurants are very casual.
