Arriving in Israel on Saturday -- Will We be able to change $ in the airport?
 
Just realized I had not thought about this. We'll need $ to get into Tel Aviv. Will there be ATMs operating in the airport on Shabbat?

Should be, but in any case you can pay your taxi with US$ equally well as NIS.

Worst comes to worst, your hotel will change them for you when you arrive.

Don't worry about currency. If you have to, pay in $$. The exchange rate is not bad!

Going home, I ran out of Shekalim and didn't want to withdraw, so asked to quote the ride in dollars. No problem. $25.
