Editor’s Letter It gets quite hot in Israel in August - in all senses of the word. Temperatures soar and cultural events overflow. When the heat gets unrelenting, we recommend heading north, to the Galilee, where the air is cooler and the atmosphere enchanting. Akko (Acre), one of Israel’s most fascinating cities, lies on the Mediterranean coast, thrillingly bridging the past and the present, with its thousands of years of history, ancient ruins, and vibrant revival as a major tourist destination. There are endless reasons to pay it a visit: breathtaking seascapes, magnificent historical sites and architectural wonders, exciting markets, and wonderful food. For those looking to get away from the

city fray, Israel’s coastline, dotted with spectacular beaches, is where to head to. In this issue, you’ll find a selection of five of Israel’s most beautiful beaches (from Rosh HaNikra in the north to Zikim in the south), a guide to planning an eco-friendly holiday, and another, with things to do with the kids: from waterskiing in Tel Aviv to diving with sharks in Eilat. Also this month: summer music and dance festivals, meteor showers in the Negev, an interview with an Italo-American Israeli chef that prepares Italian vegan food (yes, there is such a thing), and a look into a new culinary venture cooking up in the Galilee.

Wishing you a relaxing flight and pleasant reading, Nava Marton

Traveler’s Prayer May it be Thy will, Lord of Heaven and Earth, to lead us to peace and safety, to fly us in peace and safety to our desired destination, to find life, joy, and peace. Guard and watch us, we who fly the air pathways, cross the seas, and travel overland routes. Make firm the hands that guide the steering and sustain their spirit, so that they may lead us in peace and safety. For in You alone is our shelter from now unto eternity. 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.
