$$$ - Suggested amount of spending money: $150-200 USD/$250-300 CDN should be sufficient. ATM cards and credit cards are generally accepted in Israel, and provide good exchange rates. Traveler's checks may also be used. Participants should not use Israeli bonds - it is time consuming and the type of documentation for cashing the bonds is usually missing and the bonds are therefore not accepted.
