Temple Ahavat Shalom Israel Experience with Rabbi Hoffman- October 2022

HOTELS

THE DAVID CITADEL HOTEL, JERUSALEM

To know Jerusalem takes a lifetime. To feel wonderfully at home takes a stay at the David Citadel. You’re greeted by staff who remember the nicknames of your grandchildren, and balcony views you’ll never forget. You’re pampered by the largest bedrooms in Jerusalem – serene, sophisticated and rich in indulgent surprises, from Frette linens to Bvlgari amenities. You linger over meals on our luxurious garden terrace, an oasis filled with birdsong, where families discover favorite places to gather, and couples easily forget there are other guests.

Our unique address unites Old City and new, so you can skip the taxis, and stroll to many of the world’s most famous sites. With each new day, you feel less like a guest in a hotel, and more like a respected resident, at home in the most celebrated city on earth.
