Light rail toast. Hertzel, switch to number 20 or 27/27א to the stop Mifletzet/Szold.
Or by bus number 19 (not 19א) to the same stop, Mifletzet/Szold.

By car: there is a driveway which leads off and re-enters Henrietta Szold Street.
Sometimes there are a few parking spaces at the end of the driveway just before it re-enters the street.
Alternatively proceed to the Paz ️ petrol station and turn right twice onto Pesach Hevroni Street. Proceed about 100 meters to the first bus stop on the right and park in that area. Just 15 past the bus stop is a locked gate to Nofim. Buzz the reception and say you are coming to Moshe Bar-Z’ev’s book club meeting. Then buzz the door. Once in the building, proceed to the elevator and go to the 4th floor.
