Free attractions and Museums on Pesach 2015!

If you are looking for current information, please check out the updated post for 2016! 

*Please note that I put a lot of effort into this post, tracking down websites in English for your convenience. I know the Bank Hapoalim info is available to the public in Hebrew, but this blog  post has added benefits for the English speaking community. Because it was so much work, I request that if you plan to share this info, you link back to my site. Thank you for this common courtesy.

Bank Hapoalim does this wonderful service for the country:  They sponsor free attractions all around the country for Chol Hamoed, and the country loves it!

Here's the info for this year: The participating attractions will be open to the public for free on April 5-9 and you will need to check with the attractions regarding their individual hours of operation.
