The expenses did not end: after the long summer vacation of the Great Holiday, parents once again have to find employment for their children during the Tishrei holidays, so it is very worthwhile to find free activities that will lighten the wallet.
Omer Ogolnik, CEO of the Ofer Malls Group, commented on the holidays and told "Israel Hayom" that "the Rosh Hashanah holiday came out this year on September 18 after the summer period of July-August, which was unequivocally successful. The Rosh Hashanah shopping started about 10 days before the holiday, while the main part was five days before the holiday. The Rosh Hashanah holiday was very successful where we saw significant increases in the number of visitors compared to last year. This is a 15% increase in the number of visitors compared to last year and from our point of view this is excellent. For the Sukkot holiday we are preparing with a wide variety of activities In all the malls. I think that the answer of an air-conditioned, closed and safe place in the current period, together with a wide variety of activities, it gives the ultimate answer.
We identify and monitor the number of people flying to the sand and we are happy that people have been going out to cool off in the sand for two and a half years.
Last summer, the number of flights was relatively large, so even on this Rosh Hashanah we estimate that there will be an increase and an increase in visitors on Hol HaMoed."

We bring Sesame Street to the center and there are many new things in the food market, it works very well.
In addition we have a vintage fair.
We estimate that there will be around 35-40 thousand visitors compared to 30 thousand per day on average.
Those who come by car are advised to arrive early because after that it will be difficult to find parking.
So far the Tishrei holidays have started well, with a lot of people and shopping.
