The First Quiet Shabbat of a New Life

from Israel Travel Podcast with Noa Shapira · host Noa Shapira

Noa experiences her first full Shabbat as a Jerusalem resident — the city slowing down, a long walk to the Knesset and the Israel Museum's grounds, a quiet afternoon on her Musrara rooftop, and the politics of rest in a city that stops. Plus what a Shabbat of no buses and no shops costs, and how visitors should plan around it. ☕ Enjoying the show?
