Editor’s Letter “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” (Aurelius Augustinus*) After two years of global lockdown, more and more countries are welcoming tourists anew. Israel was among the first countries to do so, but only in the past few months has the flow of tourists been back to its old self.

The Lord bless thee, keep thee, the Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee, the Lord turns His face unto thee, and gives thee peace. Amen .
