Incredibly honored to be featured in *The Wall Street Journal* discussing the heartbeat of tourism right now in Israel. 🇮🇱📰

Navigating this industry over the past few years has tested everyone, and we are not out of it yet—but every step forward is worth celebrating, and sharing our story on a global scale is deeply rewarding.

Grateful to keep doing what I love and to contribute to this important conversation!

We had a very hard month and a half here during the Iran war — cooped up in our houses. Everyone was itching to get out, and just a few days after the ceasefire, I hosted a tour of the Wadi Nisnas Shuk in Haifa for 16 people! (Almost all of whom came from Tel Aviv — and Tel Avivim are known for not leaving their bubble.)

Such a fun morning, laughing, eating, and drinking our way through the market! Can’t wait for the next one!!

What a lovely day for a boat ride and a company bonding day! 🌊⛵️We started off with a tour of the city of Tiberias exploring the rich history and deep spirituality. We then continued with a very fun boat ride on the Sea of Galilee with 360 views and a gorgeous breeze. We wrapped up the day with a relaxing and delicious lunch together ✨

Kayaking on the Dead Sea! The lowest place on earth! Such a unique and incredibly fun experience. Hard to describe the serenity being the only few living creatures out in the middle of the sea. Magical. Have I mentioned I love my job??

I just started a new job working with an incredible food rescue organization — Leket Israel! This year alone, Leket has saved over 33,000 tons of food 😮

Since the war began, many farmers have lost their workers, making volunteers more essential than ever. Today, we met an amazing farmer named Ilan, who was beyond thrilled to welcome our help.
As Israeli artist .jay says in his song “We left Tel Aviv and moved to the Gaza Strip”:

‎החקלאים צמאים לגשם ‎אבל מטפטפות רקטות Farmers thirst for rain, but rockets are dripping.

Ilan expressed this exact sentiment.

We were working in the Alona Regional Council, a beautiful and fertile region made up of three agricultural communities. Their community emblem is engraved with a verse from Psalms:
‎הַזֹּרְעִ֥ים בְּדִמְעָ֗ה בְּרִנָּ֥ה יִקְצֹֽרוּ Those who sow in tears, will reap with songs of joy.

Israel is going through one of its hardest chapters. But I’m praying that our tears will soon be turned into songs of joy.
🎗️🇮🇱  שבת שלום ✨✨✨
