By BENJAMIN HERSHKOVITZ President, B&H Travel Israel is a unique destina- tion with timeless tradi- tions and modern sophisti- cated cities — a land of deep contrasts from the northern hills and Crusader castles to the deserts and resorts of the south. There is so much to see and enjoy. Relax on Israel's four seas. Play tennis, golf, scuba dive and water ski, and of course, visit Israel — the Holy Land, with its in- spiring and fascinating his- torical and religious sights. Israel is also an impor- tant place for . groups, not only for vacation and sight- seeing, but also for profes- sional study tours, congres- ses and conventions. We believe that the- fol- lowing interesting facts and highlights will be most enlightening and helpful. On May 14, 1948, the state of Israel was pro- claimed. It is a republic, headed by a president, elected by the 120-member Knesset (parliament), and a prime minister. Elections to the Knesset are held every four years on a system of proportional representa tion. Every citizen over the age of 18, regardless of race or religion, is entitled to vote in secret balloting for the Knesset and local gov- ernment bodies. RELIGIONS: All de: nominations are free to worship in their own ways, maintain their religious and charitable institutions and administer their inter- nal affairs. The inviolabil- ity of holy places and cen- ters of worship of all faiths is guaranteed by law. Each religious body has the statutory right to observe its own weekly rest-day and holy days. The Jewish Sab- bath and festivals are offi- cial holidays of Israel. THE HOLY LAND: Apart from being the Jewish state, Israel is also the Holy Land for Chris- tianity, and possesses one of the three holy cities of Is- lam: Jerusalem. Many Americans traveling to Is- rael are Christian pilgrims visiting the holy places of Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Nazareth, Cana, Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee. CLIMATE: Israel's cli- mate may be compared to that of Florida and South- ern California. The sum- mer, which lasts from April to October, is warm and vir- tually rainless. During this season, the most pleasant vacation areas are the sea- side resorts and hilly towns of Jerusalem and afed, where the weather is drier and cooler. The winter season, from November to March, is characterized by cooler temperatures and short spells of rain interspersed with long periods of sun- shine. At this time of year, Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, Sodom, on the Dead Sea, Eilat and Sinai on the Red Sea, have ideal winter weather. CONVENTIONS AND SEMINARS: Israel is a major venue for interna- tional conventions, sym- posia and trade fairs with ,many scheduled events each year. The largest con- vention facility is the Binyanei Haooma Conven- tion Center in Jerusalem which seats 3,500 people and the major hotels have facilities for large as- semblies and committees. Israel has also become a popular destination for cor- porations offering incentive trips to teachers and sales- men. Most incentive tours are organized for the winter when Israel's climate at that time is pleasant and mild. r urn I DO IT YOURSELF! YOU CAN USE OUR BOWENS ILLUMITRAN SLIDE COPIER FREE!
