I’m in Jerusalem & need to call the rabbi in my old community in America to get some paperwork faxed here to Israel.
I’m having much difficulty trying to locate a phone that I can call the shul from. I found an internet cafe with phones, but they block the numbers, which the shul doesn’t allow blocked numbers.
I’m willing to pay by the minute (assuming that I can get a phone that doesn’t have blocked numbers) & I have an international calling card, but none of the phones work with them.
Can someone please help me? I really need to locate a phone.

Also, many Americans have DSL lines with free calls to the USA.

I can’t believe how much time, money & walking I have put into just making this phone call.
It’s really quite amazing as to the immense amount of difficulty just making a phone call has been. It’s almost as funny as it is aggravating. I mean, I never thought that I could stump rabbis such a simple question (“How do I use a public phone?”).
