Oh, there are a lot of interesting, colorful souvenirs in Israel. We brought such small hats for men (yarmulkes, what are they called), their national candlesticks are very original, beautiful amulets for the home, a lot of beautiful magnets ... Well, for women, of course , real creams with miners of the Dead Sea.

A small hat is called a KIPA, and only Jews wear it, or rather, Jews. I doubt that it is appropriate for an Orthodox man to give such a "souvenir". The same applies to the MENORAH - the Jewish menorah and
MEZUZA - a talisman with the text of a prayer. All these are elements of the Jewish religious cult and are bought as a gift exclusively for Jews.
It is better to bring from Israel candles from the Church of the Resurrection of Christ ("Church of the Holy Sepulcher"), church paraphernalia, sold at every step. Of the delicacies - very tasty, huge dates melting in your mouth and halva of various tastes. Cosmetics with Dead Sea salts will appeal to women. Only you need to buy these creams not in company stores, where for some reason they are more expensive, but in small Jewish and Arab shops.
Have a nice rest!

AHAVA cosmetics.
With religious gifts, I would be more careful - not everyone is passionate about Hebrew myths.

Sigur62, yes, you are a connoisseur of Jewish culture, respect to you. And I just liked the look of these things, so I bought them for souvenirs. And they even attached a mezuzah to my front door - such a nice little thing! And they wrote a prayer, their own.

Thanks)))
In any case, Israel is a country where every person should visit at least once in a lifetime.
Happy travels!

We brought crosses to relatives (bought in the Old City, laid on the stone of Anointing in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher - after that they are considered consecrated), colleagues brought something like souvenir sets (consecrated water, oil, earth in a box) - they are different in price and size, as a sign of attention - that's it. I took beautiful fragrant handmade soaps and creams for my girlfriends.

After I visited Israel on official business, I can definitely say: people with a materialistic worldview have nothing to do there.

That's what I think. Why every Jew or every believer should go there, I understand. Why everyone else MUST go there is a mystery.

I agree with koroshchenko about fruits, you can also use Dead Sea mud, it really helps children with diathesis. I would bring a lot of things from Israel, but in Ben-Gurion they fool their heads so much that any desire to carry anything disappears. Your cosmetics, bought in Israel, can be decomposed into atoms at the airport and searched for explosives and narcotic substances there.
