Hi there. I actually just moved here after Pesach. I don’t have too much advice, as I sent three suitcases before and came with five, but as I live here – I realize that I could’ve bought so much here instead of shlepping it all. You can get REALLY nice dishes for MUCH cheaper than American Prices in Geula, and glasses. I would suggest you bring placemats from home, because it’s almost impossible to find here. Do not bring any kitchen utensils (peelers, knives, etc) as they have it all here. I would suggest you bring your own bath towels though.
As far as electronics – buy a cordless phone HERE!! It’s much more expensive, but after blowing mine – I realized that it wasn’t worth it.
Hmmmm what else? It sounds funny but leave your tailoring to be done here. It’s a FRACTION of the price:) Bring good shoes. Don’t bother bringing any soap because you will eventually run out and be forced to buy here.
Honestly – the most important thing to bring is…a roll of paper towels, a box or bag of tissues and take two water bottles from the plane. The minute you get here, you will want to clean the place up, use the washroom, and DRINK.
That’s all I can think of for now! Welcome!
