Israel for Beginners

Nili Wine House and Restaurant is a lovely restaurant located on the central pedestrian mall in Zichron Yaakov.  The tables located on the terraces are a perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon people watching.  The food is typical of Israeli café style but is fresh and tasty.  The pizza is a sure pleaser.

The First Aliyah Museum, located in picturesque Zichron Yaakov, depicts the challenges and hardships faced by the thousands who made Aliyah in the late 1800s to the early 1900s.  This museum contains traditional exhibits, as well as multimedia aids, to tell the story of these pioneers.  The museum is a bit dated compared to the newer museums built in Israel and may not be an exciting place for young children.  However, it is certainly an interesting place to stop as part of a visit to Zichron Yaakov.
