FAQs

Question

When should I book my flights?

Answer

We recommend booking early, as summer is a popular travel season in Israel. El Al Airlines is Israel’s national carrier and often offers the most reliable direct flights from the U.S. to Tel Aviv.

Question

What is the weather like in August?

Answer

August in Tel Aviv is warm, sunny, and full of summer energy, with daytime temperatures typically in the low-to-mid 80s°F (high 20s°C). Evenings stay pleasantly warm, perfect for seaside strolls and outdoor celebrations. We recommend light, breathable clothing, comfortable shoes, and plenty of sunscreen so you can enjoy the city and festivities comfortably.

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

While Israel can be famously laid-back, we’d love for everyone to dress up and make this a truly elegant evening. Our wedding will be Black Tie inspired. For women: Long dresses. For men: A tuxedo if you have one, otherwise a dark suit and tie is perfect. Please no casual wear.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

We want to celebrate with all of our nearest and dearest! Only the people listed on your invitation are invited. We kindly ask that you do not bring additional guests.

Question

Will I need to exchange money?

Answer

Israel uses the Israeli Shekel (ILS). Credit cards are widely accepted almost everywhere, and Apple Pay is commonly used in Tel Aviv. Many ATMs are available, and you can also exchange money at the airport if you prefer to have shekels in hand when you arrive.That said, it’s a good idea to keep a little cash for small shops, markets, and taxis. If you have American Express, you’ll often avoid foreign transaction fees, making it a convenient option for purchases.

Question

Is English widely spoken?

Answer

Yes! Most people in Israel, especially in hotels, restaurants, and shops, speak English. Signs are also in Hebrew and English. In restaurants, you can request an English menu.
