Hours without seeing a single yarmulka of any kind. Finally, at the tourist stores near the Reading Power I saw one or two. I believe they were American tourists.e
After hours of walking finally found a kosher restaurant. Didn't see a shul either
Totally non-religious. This claim from the Avi Shvat's of the world that high percentages of Israelis keep Pesach or YK or whatever are nonsense or are based on the loosest definitions of observance. These people are everything Chaim Soloveitchik feared, Jews without religion.
Also absurd is this notion of Tel Aviv as a modern, lively city. Much of it is pretty beat. There's hardly a tourist attraction, just a few museums for pre-state terrorist groups. There are a few malls which in the US would be minor. There are lots of cafes with smokers, little else. You can probably say the same about Cairo.
Hotels, a few by the beach. Hardly any anywhere else. Very primitive.
