Thanks for this post. Since you don’t usually write a lot of personal posts, it was surprising and welcome. You should write more of the same! I love all of your list of things you want to do, a list that is no doubt in the minds/hearts of anyone who has any deep connection to Israel. Nesiya tova.

The shuk can be a very special place. I have many fond memories.

Nice. Never been to Falafel Gabbai. What’s special about this place?
Which are you “favorite” parts of the shuq?
Falafel Gabbai might very well be the best falafel I’ve ever had. I am, of course, always open to new suggestions.
The shuk – the iraqi shuk, and the entrance to the covered shuk from aggripas are a few of my favorite places. You?
Careful about the hitchhiking – I’m an Israeli born and bred and never hitch hiked in my life – you don’t have to do it.
Also, for the best hummus in Israel, try the Blue Bus in Pardes Hana. Totally rocks.
