Editor’s Letter April, and with it the spring and Passover holidays, opens the way towards travel season. As the weather gets warmer, the Passover and Easter holidays offer the perfect occasion to take a long trip with the family. This month, Israel is also celebrating 75 years of Independence, so we’ve prepared an extra festive issue we hope will inspire you to explore new places and destinations. If you happen to be on your way to celebrate the holidays in Israel, our guide to its wine routes tells of the fascinating archeological discoveries that show that wine has been produced and consumed in this part of the world for 3,000 years, and of course, it’s got the lowdown on the best wineries in the country, from north to south. To mark Yom HaZikaron, Memorial Day

for Israel’s fallen soldiers, and Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day, also taking place this month, this issue includes ideas and suggestions of memorial sites to visit across the country, where the landscapes are breathtaking and past and present tragedies are honored and remembered. Also this month: Hofesh Shechter, one of the most successful Israeli choreographers in the world, is in Israel with his new show, a taste of some of the best gourmet kosher restaurants in Israel, ideas for Passover gifts created by Israeli designers, and as always, plenty of recommendations, events, guides, and ideas. I wish you all a pleasant read, a peaceful flight, and a very Happy Passover,

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.
