Extra Trains to Netivot for Baba Sali Hillula Celebration

Planning to visit the annual Baba Sali Hillula celebration in Netivot? Great news – Israel Railways is adding extra train service to help you get there easily and avoid the crowds.

The railway company will run 4 additional trains to Netivot during the celebration, anticipating large crowds of pilgrims and visitors. They’re also extending the regular train lines to provide more convenient access to this important Jewish pilgrimage site in southern Israel.

The Hillula of Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira (known as the Baba Sali) draws thousands of visitors each year to his tomb in Netivot. It’s a fascinating cultural and spiritual experience for travelers interested in Jewish heritage and traditions.

If you’re planning to attend, taking the train is definitely your best bet – it’ll save you from traffic headaches and parking hassles. Check the Israel Railways website for specific departure times and book your tickets in advance, as these extra services tend to fill up quickly during the celebration period.
