FRANZ KAFKA

STUDIED HEBREW

An El Al
tour
is not
a vacation.

The famous writer, who posthu-
mously became one of the leading
literary figures of our time, was
deeply conscious of his Jewish heri-
tage. In his last years Kafka, a
product of Prague's German-Jewish
cultural milieu in his day, studied
Hebrew under the impact of Zion-
ism and the personal influence of
his closest friend, Max Brod, the
great Jewish thinker and novelist,
now living in Tel Aviv.

What we mean is that it's not just a vacation it's an ad-



venture.

HARRIMAN, N.Y. (JTA)—The
Jews of Oriental origin in Israel

It's not just a trip to another country. It's a time machine
that takes you into another age, where Jerusalem, Galilee,
Mt. Zion, Mt. Carmel, the Red Sea, Beersheba cease to be
just names you've known all your life and become places you
see for the first time in your life.
To make sure that it's a real adventure, we recommend that
-you take one of our tours. That way, we can make certain _
that in days, you see centuries.
The tour operator will also make sure of more mundane
things. Like your baggage being there when you are, that
your hotel rooms are waiting for you, instead of the other
way around. He'll see that you get a rental car to drive in,
and maps to show you the way. He'll tell you what he thinks
are the best restaurants and the shops where you get the
most for your money.
And while we're talking about the most for your money,
that's true about the tour itself. You get a special rate, from
the moment you step on an El Al plane, all through Israel,
and all the way home.
We have such a large choice of tours, we know there's one
that will suit you. They come in days, weeks, months and a
