Editor’s Letter Every year in October the world marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Various global events take place, as monuments and cultural sites are illuminated in pink. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer to hit women in Israel and the world – 5,500 new diagnoses occur each year in Israel alone. But crucially, 92% of those diagnosed, recover thanks to early detection. Atmosphere magazine has chosen to take part in raising awareness on this important issue, even devoting its cover to the cause, sounding the bell on the significance of early detection. To put it simply: it saves lives. For the whole month of October, EL AL flight and ground crew uniforms, and EL AL cups and pillows, will be adorned with the Breast Cancer Awareness Month pink ribbon, as will the EL AL in-flight entertainment screens. This initiative is

part of the collaboration initiated between EL AL and the Israel Cancer Association. Inspired by the AIDS awareness red ribbon, the first time a pink one was used to symbolize the fight against breast cancer was in 1991, when it was distributed to the participants of a race organized in New York in honor of breast cancer survivors, before being officially adopted in 1992 to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is why this month’s issue is not only replete with travel and lifestyle ideas and inspiration, but it also includes a guide to early breast cancer detection, and a deeply moving story of recovery- because together with the desire to enjoy life, comes the need to preserve it.

Wishing you a pleasant read and a safe flight, 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.
