Compared to Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem is slightly colder (Jerusalem is on a mountain (about 700 meters) and Tel-Aviv on the beach), so in summer it is better to be in Jerusalem and in winter, much better to be in Tel-Aviv (Some would tell you that it is always better to be in Tel-Aviv, regardless of the weather condition).
When is the best time to visit Jerusalem ?
October is a very good month, both for Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. It is still hot but not so much, almost no rain, kids are in school and prices of hotels are lower. In Tel-Aviv you can enter the water in the beach.
