Editor’s Letter Prestigious travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler has recently published its annual survey in which hundreds of thousands of participants ranked their favorite holiday destinations. To our delight, survey results place Israel 18 th out of 48, in front of such sought after destinations as the United States, the Philippines, Austria, Germany, and France. Two of the reasons for this probably have to do with Israel’s breathtakingly rich and diverse landscapes, and the great weather that prevails here all year round. Indeed, traveling through Israel means going from admiring green expanses of land, with rivers and waterfalls in the north – where it can even snow on occasion in the winter - to witnessing the beauty of the naked desert in the south, and enjoying the pulsating vibrancy of its cities - be it Tel Aviv, Haifa, or Jerusalem

- where attractions, nightlife, historical sites, beautiful beaches, and top restaurants are infinitely abundant. When winter sets in, everyone flocks to the southern city of Eilat where the weather is magnificent this time of year – still warm enough for the beach but no longer scorching like it is in the summertime – and the city’s winter festivals take off. Read on for a taste of the cascade of live music, art shows, happenings, and workshops taking place there this season, as well as a peek into what’s in store at this year’s Red Sea Jazz Festival, finally back to its original location in the Port of Eilat. More still in this issue: a look into the month’s top events, an overview of Israel’s burgeoning Japanese food scene, an invitation to check out five top design stores, and more. I wish 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.
