Anyone have any idea if I can send frozen cooked food to my couples in Israel? In checked baggage. My husband is going for Rosh Hashanah and it's a 3 day YT. I would love to send some. Also any good ideas how to package it etc?? Any inherent helpful tips how I can help my couples from this side of the ocean for 3 day YT??

I've done this successfully a few times! Packed everything in foil pans, and wrapped eac one in a strong plastic food bag.
Then I put all of it into a vacuum bag, the ones meant for underbed storage. Make sure to do this when everything is frozen solid otherwise all the juice., soup etc will get squeezed out!

If you have access to a chest freezer, that's the best option because you can get it all packed up in advance, the food won't won't defrost whilst you're packing it up, and you can put it in your case just before you leave.

After a 15 hour journey, it all arrived frozen solid, even the soups.

Freeze all food. When the food is frozen, vacuum pack it in plastic food vacuum bags. It can still be solid frozen by the time the food gets to Israel.
