Why not get her some mud from the dead sea.
You know, the skin care stuff.

Packaged water from the River Jordan. When I was there, my friend got me a menorah necklace. I really loved it.

A little novelty item I really loved was a T-shirt that said "Holy Rock Cafe" At the time my daughter was collecting Hard Rock Cafe tee shirts.

Yea, get her some mud from the dead sea. That's what every Christian wants from Israel.

i would get her some michal negri jewelery, that is soooo stunning i am sure she will love it,(store can also be found at the duty free, 15% less)
another option are the haava products, even hand creams from them are great.
also if she is religious (only if she is in to that) get her some christian memorabilia from jerusalem, like a cross or something

All that dead sea stuff sounds cool but I would make it more personal.
Get a small bottle and fill it with Israeli dirt from your yard and send her Israel. Not a tourist item.

Does she like the colour turquoise? If yes, then a bit of jewellery with Elat stone in - it's really pretty!

Or, as someone else suggested, some Dead Sea products; they are usually popular.

I would avoid the Menora pendant: if a person wears this they are representing themselves as being Jewish, and your friend is Christian. The Menorah is the oldest Jewish symbol that we have, in fact, older than the Magen David.

It depends on what your friend wants. What kind of items does she like?

Aaron

holy water

Debbi (SOC)

A pretty necklace with a cross on it.

Rachel

i got my friend some of that holy water. you can get it at the arab market in jerusalem and probably a bunch of other markets too.
or get a hebrew t-shirt or mud from the dead sea.

maximus
