Moving to Israel

While I am always trying to promote moving to Israel, there are sometimes easier sales pitches to present than others. After the last three days, I have my latest.

My family and I (along with two other families) just completed a short trip where we stayed at the Arbel Holiday Homes, located in Moshav Arbel near the sea of Galilee and Tiberias. The reason I say that the recap of this trip will serve as a great sales pitch for a move to Israel is more than just the fantastic time we had while away. The fact that we were able to make a one and a half hour drive from our home in the city to such a beautiful, tropical paradise is really nothing short of astounding. We enjoyed the modern city of Tiberias and the breath taking view of the Kineret. It was the feeling of being transported to a different country while still being a shouting distance from home.

Not many countries in the world provide this. Israel is a tiny land that fits in the state of New Jersey and yet is so full of beauty and history that the relatively short drive we took quickly brought us from one historical landmark to another. What other countries can make such claims? We went from the ancient city of Jerusalem with all its nostalgia to the waters of the Kineret and the views of a lifetime. When living in Israel there is no need to fly half way around the world to “get away” and see something different. Just get on the highway and be amazed and awed from stop to stop. Truly a humbling experience.

With the summer time winding down and the final vacations of the season being planned, there are lots of people wondering where to take their family (and/or themselves) for that last getaway. Please contact me for ideas and suggestions as I would love to share my travel experiences with you so you too can see the beauty that our little country holds.
