Editor’s Letter

As it beckons in the smoldering summer months of July and August, June remains pleasant enough for day trips across Israel. We’ve chosen to head north this month, and explore the wondrous city of Caesarea, ranked by the New York Times as one of the ten best destinations in the world. Founded in the years 25-13 BC by King Herod, it is one of the most fascinating archeological sites in the world, with each square centimeter representing centuries of history, earning it the Italian Travel Journalists’ Association (the GIST) award for world’s best cultural and archeological site. But Caesarea is not only an archeological goldmine – it is also a beautiful coastal city with gorgeous beaches and wonderful gourmet restaurants and

art galleries. This month also marks World Bicycle Day and we’ve prepared a selection of some of Israel’s best cycling trails – from singletracks to challenging rides through the desert, and family fun along the cycling track of Tel Aviv’s HaYarkon Park. Also this month: a taste of the best Israeli restaurants that specialize in foreign flavors and cuisines, among which the cuisines of India, Morocco, and Japan; Milan Design Week highlights, a glimpse at some of this season’s most interesting art exhibitions, and as always - events, guides, recommendations, and more. I wish you all a pleasant read and a peaceful 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.
