"Har Ha'Beit B'Yadeinu!" - "The Temple Mount is in our hands" - ISRAEL TODAY


This announcement crackled over Israel's military radios on June 6, 1967
This was one of the most important announcements of the Six Day War in 1967. "The Temple Mount is in our hands" - these six words caused soldiers to burst into tears and changed the history of Jerusalem forever.
Jews around the world had been waiting to pray at the Western Wall, the remains of the temple, since the occupation of Jordanian forces of the Old City of Jerusalem in 1948. The radio announcement of Motta Gur fulfilled the dream of the Jewish nation.
Our soldiers guard the borders of Israel indefatigably. They protect the very existence of the country, which has been so hard-fought for. On the auspicious occasion of the Jubilee Jerusalem Day celebrations, you will find an offer which includes a solidarity package for our soldiers!
On offer now! A special subscription package which includes a subsidised Soldiers Solidarity Package. You can purchase an annual subscription to Israel Today and pay half price for a Soldiers Solidarity Package. We will make up the other half of the Soldiers Solidarity Package.

Tourists to Israel Expected to Increase to Five Billion Annually By JNS - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

Tourists to Israel Expected to Increase to Five Billion Annually

“He hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel.” Lamentations 2:1 (The Israel Bible™)
By Maayan Jaffe-Hoffman/JNS.org
Twenty-five years ago, when Nancy Broth started her business, she signed a contract with El Al (the only airline that flew to Israel at the time) and helped people book their flights abroad. Today, Broth—owner of Caves Travel in Baltimore, MD.—works with multiple airlines, dozens of Israeli hotels, and a group of touring companies and guides. She says traveling to Israel has become not just for Jews, but an alluring vacation for people of all ages, sexual orientations, and creeds.
“It’s the Old City of Jerusalem, Masada, Ein Gedi, the Dead Sea,” says Broth, naming some of the most popular tourist attractions in Israel. “More seasoned people like to go to the Galilee, to Eilat, to visit Petra (the ancient city in Jordan). They go to the spa and the wineries—they all love the wineries.”
“Israel is the only place in the world where students, women, and kids can go by themselves to swim in the Tel Aviv beach at sunset, bike through the mountains, or jog through one of the central parks,” echoes Amir Halevi, director general of the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. “There is no other place where there is so much to do and people can feel safe doing it.”
Halevi tells JNS.org that he has seen a steady rise in people from all over the world traveling to Israel, even during times of heightened security concerns such as the current wave of terror—and despite the high travel costs. Hotel prices in Israel have increased by 70 percent over the last decade. Broth points out that even with alternatives to El Al, such as Turkish Airlines and Austrian Airlines, taking a plane halfway around the world is expensive.
Enter Israeli Tourism Minister Yariv Levin, who is trying to make Israel travel more affordable. In late February, Levin presented a bill designed to reduce the cost of vacationing in Israel by 20 percent over five years. The bill passed its first Israeli Knesset reading, and Halevi says it is expected to come up for second and third readings within the next few weeks and hopefully pass.
The bill changes the status of hotels in Israel from commercial venues to national infrastructure, which would allow their construction to be approved through a fast and simple procedure by the country’s National Infrastructure Committee. Further, independent local committees would be able to approve hotels’ addition of up to 20 percent of their rooms for residential purposes, which would reduce the risk of investment for the entrepreneur and increase financing sources, meaning faster return on investment.

Halevi says the tourism minister projects that if the bill passes, some 15,000 hotel rooms will be added within five years in Israel, and about 27,000 in 10 years. During the last decade, only about 3,000 new hotel rooms were built in Israel. Likewise, Israeli tourism officials expect the number of annual tourists in the Jewish state to increase from 3 billion to 5 billion within the next three to five years.
The Yad Sarah organization—Israel’s largest group of volunteers (6,000 members) providing a spectrum of free or nominal cost services designed to make life easier for the sick, people with disabilities, senior citizens, and their families—is also playing a role in making travel to Israel more accessible. About a year and a half ago, Yad Sarah opened a tourist services program that allows people who might not have been able to travel to the Jewish state because of sickness or disability to fulfill their dreams.
“We make it so that people, no matter their boundaries, can come and travel in Israel,” says Nadia Alalu, director of tourist services program.
Yad Sarah offers hospital beds, hoists, commodes, oxygen concentrators, and any other equipment that might be needed to make a tourist comfortable and provide for his needs while in Israel. The organization’s wheelchair-accessible vans can pick up travelers at the airport and bring them directly to their destination. Additionally, tour guides who specialize in accommodating people with physical disabilities can be recommended or arranged through Yad Sarah for a nominal fee.
“They come to us because they are having a bar mitzvah and they want their elderly grandmother to be there,” says Alalu, providing an example of the requests she receives. Sometimes, people come from abroad to receive special medical treatment. Then, too, Yad Sarah can set up their hotel room like a home-hospital.
Yad Sarah is available every day from the early morning until 7 p.m., and for emergencies 24/7, says Alalu. A tourist who falls and sprains his ankle, for example, can borrow a pair of crutches from Yad Sarah, just like an Israeli citizen could do through the organization.
“There is nowhere else in the world where services like this exist for free,” Alalu says.
“Everybody just loves Israel,” says Broth, who notes that she is always exploring the creation of new tour packages. “What is not to love?”

Take a stand against global terror? ISRAEL TODAY

Take a stand against global terror?

Monday, November 16, 2015 |  Israel Today Staff
The recent terror attacks in France in the "City of Lights" has shaken not only Europe but the entire world.
In Israel, the Israeli Knesset and the wals of the Old City of Jerusalem were lit up with the colors of the French flag as Israel stood in solidarity with France. Israel knows what it is to suffer terror attacks day-in and day-out over decades.
Ironically just a few days ago, Israel was singled out by the EU to have products, originating in Judea & Samaria to be labeled in order to have these products boycotted! Those that will be most affected by any boycotts are those workers that the BDS supporters purport to support - the Palestinain workers in Israeli factories.
It is not Israel that should be boycotted but rather Islam that is intolerant of other cultures and religions!
