• PASSOVER 1995 WE Some come here to follow a strict diet regime to lose weight. Some come to relax and recharge their batteries. The only stress is on informality, and many guests spend much of their time in lounging robes between pool and Jacuzzi and sauna and the din- ing room. There is not a necktie in sight. There are lectures of interest for those who wish, and trips around the neighborhood which is drenched in history and mys- tic spirit; but the program is not structured. One of the visits, in- cidentally, is to the nearby tomb of the miracle rabbi, Yuonatan Ben Uziel.-Legend, supported by experience, has it that one who visits the grave in proper mood, will be wed within a year. Guests at Mizpeh Hayamim will be impressed with the aes- thetic atmosphere, marked by a profusion of greenery indoors, fea- turing also two atriums with ex- otic local plants. The tall palm tree at the center is already push- ing against the roof. The swim- ming pool is surrounded by no less than 33 large potted plants. There are no ashtrays. The diet is strictly vegetarian, but for those who wish it, the desserts are rich and tempting. Dr. Jarus would not have approved. For Israelis in the know, Mizpeh Hayamim is the "in" place. It draws Tel Aviv's yup- pies. The list of celebrities who have relaxed here is long, but ho- tel manager Josh Avin hastens to add that to him and the staff every guest is a celebrity. Josh is a sabra who studied profes- sional hotel management in the United States. He served with such hostelries as the Konover in Miami Beach and the Mon- drian in Hollywood. he came back to Israel to manage the Dan Caesarea and two years ago took over Mizpeh Hayamim. A recent addition to the grounds is the art gallery and workshop, where Sami Samaand and his associates, Max and Hay- im, produce pottery, ceramics, jewelry, silvercraft and the like. Hotel guests have opportunity here to explore their own possi- bly latent artistic talents, as part of their experience at Mizpeh Hayamim. The ample grounds are the source also of much of the fruit and vegetables and cheeses con- sumed here. There are only 80 rooms, assuring an atmosphere of intimacy. In his day, Dr. Jarus never ad- vertised. Information about the place was spread by word of mouth, and guests were plenti- ful. Even today, advertising is minimal; and so Mizpeh Hayamim is one of the secret in- places of the Israelis. On day American tourists will discover it.Hopefully, they will not spoil it. ❑ MOTOR COACH TOURS - AIR AND CRUISE TRAVEL HAVE YOUR GOLF, SPA or BEACH * WE HAVE CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY INSURANCE * ti * STRATFORD May-Oct. * 1 & 2 day trips * $599 * * "BRITISH HIGHLIGHTS" * May 24-June 2 * MICH.
