Shopping and kosher food in Rehovot

The shuk

Rehovot Market on Bilu Street sells fresh produce, fish, meat and spices. Hours from the Weizmann Institute's guide: Sunday to Thursday 07:00-19:00, Friday 05:00-16:00, closed on Shabbat.

Supermarkets

Most supermarkets carry only kosher products and close from Friday afternoon until Saturday night. Tiv Taam on Oppenheimer Street is not kosher. Check each shop's certificate if kashrut matters to you; the food directory lists the shops we know of.

Malls and phones

Rehovot Mall has the central bus station on its ground floor and mobile phone shops. The Weizmann Institute notes that SIM plans start at about 30 shekels a month, and that Golan Telecom offers service in English.

Banks

To open an account you'll need two forms of ID; Israelis use their teudat zehut.
