I bought most of my corelle here, but I’m not sure if they’re open still. There are definitely places that sell silverware. There are so many publications that come out nowadays to advertise everything so I’m sure it won’t be too hard to find what you’re missing. I happen to be looking to get some more Corelle myself, so if I find the people, I’ll let you know. I lived for years in Yerushalayim and now live right outside of it and come in frequently and my girls are there everyday. GREAT PLACE!!! You’ll love it. Don’t worry about Ivrit – not that everybody here speaks English, but even if you speak whatever you learned in high school, you’d get by.
Since it sounds like there’s a misunderstanding, the Turkish Air flights do not mean you need to stay there, it’s just the place where you change planes, just like if you flew British Air you would change planes in London. Most American airlines and El Al have direct flights from the east coast, but European airlines have a stopover in their home country since they have flights going to the US and flights going to EY, so you just take the flight “to Turkey” and then the flight to EY, but you don’t stay in Turkey at all. I don’t blame you for not wanting to be amongst the population there though. Mazel Tov again!!!
