Honestly I’m with Chaya Leah - if I moved to Israel I would much rather live in Jerusalem than Tel Aviv. Maybe when I was in my early 20s I would have said Tel Aviv bc I was more progressive and into modern cities at the time but now I’m like it’s basically like any western city and Jerusalem is something so different and unique and ancient. Also when I went on birthright I made really good friends on this trip that I still keep in touch with - but when we went out drinking it was wayyy more fun in Jerusalem than Tel Aviv. Wasn’t really into the club life, the mysterious streets was a much better vibe.
Thanks Benjy!

Did I miss your analysis of Jewish Matchmaker? I want to hear your hot takes on all of those clients! I got worked up with some of their expectations!
This ep finally made me subscribe.
Tel Aviv is basically Miami with Hebrew
I love Jerusalem
I love the pod and it is enriching my Jewish life, giving me much food for thought.
Go, Benjy! Also, just got my ticket to The Shylock play. I won't tell you which day 😇
Loved the dating question (and advice)! That sounds like a nice balance. Good luck, young man!
