I just moved to Tel Aviv and do not yet have a job or health insurance. I am currently taking oral contraceptives and am wondering how to get them here. Do I need a prescription? Are they expensive without insurance?

Try going to a pharmacy with your pill pack and explain the situation. You probably need a prescription, but pharmacies are more lenient here than in the US and they will likely help you for a month before you can sign up for insurance. Do sign up, it is easy and cheap.

You can go to a private gynecologist and have your prescription refilled. The pill pack costs around 50 NIS
Or you can go to a private pharmacy (not a chain pharmacy such as Superpharm / Neopharm - they are very strict there) and indeed explain the situation. Most of them will understand and sell you.
