Well, here's something I haven't seen in a while...As expected, tourism traffic to Israel came to a virtual standstill after the October 7 terror attack and the ensuing military conflict in Gaza.

Yet there are, here and there, a few tourists. I had the pleasure and honor of serving a family who traveled on a private tour. The team in Israel and myself spared no expense in pampering them to make sure they enjoyed their time. Here's what they wrote when they returned.
