This May will see the 60 year celebration of Israel’s independence. For six decades, Israel has made great strides in creating a country that easily rivals many others that have been around for much longer. The economy is bolstered by many international agreements, which in turn lends itself to many exports and companies coming to Israel to do business. This, in turn, has led to a huge rise in tourism, which Israel is famous for. [Read more →]

There is a place in Israel that is a place of healing, regrowth, and learning. The KKL-JNF has strived to make a difference in the Jewish homeland, and that impact is seen as a glorious success. The learning came from the fact that it’s not always best to change the way nature operates, because 50 years ago, it was thought that the swampy areas of Lake Hula should be drained. Only by reflooding the area and allowing nature to take its course has the Hula Valley seen the return of wildlife and plant growth. [Read more →]

Maybe you have heard about the “lost” Ethiopian Jewish tribes. It may seem a little far fetched to think some Jews originate in Africa - but it is true, and their story is nothing short of remarkable. [Read more →]

If you like living here on planet Earth, and are socially conscious about its future, then ecotourism is for you!

Traveling can be great, in fact it can be awsome, but no one wants to be sick while traveling, especially when you have planned so much. There’s plenty to think about, but who wants to think about being sick on a trip? Nothing beats an exotic destination or a new found favorite vacation spot, but for those who have been stuffed up, achy, tired, jetlagged, feverish, ill, or any other way of describing ’sick’, it can turn that dream in to a nightmare.

So you’re looking to get some questions answered about international travel. This is perfectly normal. You have thought about Europe and whether that 80’s hair band (with such hits as “The Final Countdown”) was named after it, well, it was! This is a great question so let’s tackle a few more!

Do you travel for leisure or fun? Or is it the “sights” to be seen? Are you a traveler who lives for taking photos to share with others, or scrapbook for your memories? The reason people travel varies, but most people have that ‘one
thing’ they just HAVE to do! Some find that shopping for that unique item in that out-of-the-way shop is the primary goal. Others find their traveling success defined as asking for the ‘best little spot to dine’ and going there. Collecting a trinket or two to remind you of your trip is a great way to connect with that far off destination, making that far-off land not so far away. [Read more →]

Ask anyone their definition of love and you will probably get a different answer every time. That’s because there are different kinds of love for different situations. You can say “I love a good movie”, or “I love exotic locations”, but really, you only love those things for what they can do for you. It’s kind of one sided. Those things don’t love you back. But, that’s okay. It’s that kind of love. [Read more →]
