On your way to Jerusalem
A note about security questioning and passport control on your way to and from Israel. On your way to Israel (especially if flying El-Al) and out of it, you may be politely but thoroughly questioned by security personnel as to the purpose of your travel, destinations you are about to visit or have visited, whether you packed alone, whether someone gave you any gifts to carry on board, and so on. The best way to go about it is to answer the questions honestly and openly, as you have nothing to hide. Getting upset, irritated or sarcastic during this short interview is definitely the wrong path to take. If you wish, you may print out this e-mail as a documentation of your participation in the conference, to help you during this short questioning.
Changing Money (at the airport)
There are exchange bureaus operated by trustworthy commercial banks at Ben Gurion Airport. One is located within the baggage pickup hall and others are at the arrival hall. They are easy to spot and the exchange rates and fees are totally within reason (much better than exchanging at your hotel front desk). There should be no problem to exchange US Dollars and Euros to Israeli Shekels.
Getting from the Airport to Jerusalem
Our best recommendation: we recommend that you take a shared shuttle taxi (called "sherut") from the airport to Jerusalem which may bring you directly from the airport to the hotel/dorms or the venue. The price of the ride is fixed and should be about ILS 60.
This special service to Jerusalem is operated by a company called Nesher. Their taxi stand is just outside the arrival hall (a bit to your right after you reach the taxi area), and there's a sign clearly marking it.
