What's the currency and how much should I exchange?

For your time in Israel and Palestine you will be responsible for exchanging your own money. The currency generally used in both Israel and Palestine is the New Israeli Shekel. It's best to exchange at least some money at the airport so that you will have it to spend as needed in your first couple of days (on food, transportation, etc.).
