What is it like in Israel in Winter (December/January)?
This is Israeli winter, but still a wonderful time to be in the Land. Winter in Israel does not mean the snow and ice of Chicago or the freezing rain of New York. It is between the major holidays (after Christmas/Hanukkah and before Easter/Passover) so there are fewer tourists, making the sites less crowded and no waiting in the restaurants. You can expect cool days and cooler nights, with the temperatures in the 40s in Jerusalem and Galilee to the 70s in the South. It is not bitter cold anywhere in Israel, but a warm jacket and even light gloves will make you a happier traveler in winter. Remember to bring protection for possible rain and wear waterproof shoes.
