I am glad to announce that november 3rd we have opened a bitcoin embassy in tel-aviv, Ahuzat bayit 1, at street level, right infront of the new israeli stock exchange building.
You can see our landing page www.bitembassy.org and Facebook:https: www.facebook.com/pages/Bitcoin-emBassy-שגרירות-ביטקוין/598594583521066
We have since been been building the place up, figuring out what an 'embassy' should be doing...
Lot's of people come around every day, and there are 3-5 permenant members of the community that come daily and work from the embassy while manning it, plus there is a gallery floor we rent out to a bitcoin startup, and they also keep the place alive.

We have walkins, satoshi square meetings, wallet instructions, developer nights, and we are working to make a bitcoin innovation lab close by. We sell cafe and stuff for bitcoin only (all going towards donations for the community), also hope to install a lamasu ATM we ordered (and should arrive febuary)

The embassy is a non-profit, i am funding it at the moment, but we have much help from the community including the israeli bitcoin association and we hope to make it sustainable within a year
