Jaffa “open house” food tours The inauguration of the Tel Aviv light rail has placed a spotlight on Jaffa, now closer to the rest of the city than it ever was. In celebration, the municipality of Tel Aviv and Jaffa has organized a series of culinary tours with the participation of some of the city’s inhabitants who have generously agreed to open their homes for the occasion. The first to open her home in this way is Meyser Seri, a cook specialized in the Arab cuisine of Jaffa. Guests will be invited to taste the delicacies Seri will prepare for them, including homemade hummus, and listen to her story of female empowerment in a patriarchal society, a story of a devout Muslim woman who paved her way to success, publishing cookbooks, leading food workshops in her home, and culinary tours along Jaffa’s central Jerusalem Boulevard. visit-tlv.co.il
