The King David Wine Bar opened newishly, carved from a lobby renovation at Jerusalem’s iconic King David Hotel.
You’ll find more than 85 wines, all Israeli and kosher, including 14 by the glass.
And Bar a Vin in Tel Aviv, a recent addition to the white-hot scene there, showcases 38 wines from around the world, along with a straight-up bistro menu — think crêpes Suzette, sirloin steak and calamari salad.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
