I Asked 100 Strangers to Dinner in Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

    What happens when you invite 100 complete strangers to dinner in a foreign country?
    I traveled to Tel Aviv, Israel in January 2026 to find out!

    What started as a simple idea quickly turned into a mission across the city โ€” convincing restaurants to donate food, borrowing furniture from neighbors, and somehow preparing a traditional Shabbat dinner for people who had never experienced it before.

    Along the way, I met people from all different countries and religions, explored parts of Tel Aviv most tourists never see, and discovered why Shabbat is about much more than just food.
    This Israel travel vlog is not about politics. Itโ€™s about human connection and the power of saying โ€œyesโ€.

    A Huge THANK YOU to the following restaurants for taking a chance on us and saying “yes”

    1) Oh Mama Restaurant – Ben Yehuda St 69, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel +972548168618
    2) Penne Pasta – Bograshov St 21, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel +97235281957
    3) La Pane Bakery – Bograshov St 43, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 6314507, Israel +97236518878
    4) Noamle Restaurant – Ben Yehuda St 15, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 6330243, Israel +972503109253
    5) Norish Cafรฉ – Allenby St 36, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 6332510, Israel +972549763344
    6) Grill Yam – Allenby St 8, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 6330104, Israel

    Big thanks to everyone who showed up for this incredible evening. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and hopefully, one day, we can do it AGAIN!

    Saving the best for last… thank you to TAL THE TRAVELER, whose infectious energy and never-say-die attitude made this all possible! Check out Tal’s Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/talthetraveler/
