Shabbat
A Shabbat by the sea in Ashkelon
A walkable Shabbat for guests staying in the seafront hotels on Golani and Yekutiel Adam streets. The Religious Council says the city eruv covers all neighbourhoods, the marina and the promenade, but not the sand or the water; there are no buses or trains from Friday afternoon until Saturday night.
