fter 50 years, we have a
new Israel, a surprising
Israel, an Israel that was
not part of the Zionist
dreams of our sturdy, malaria-fight-
ing, kibbutz-building, vision-seeing,
life-risking forefathers.
Today's Israel is a sophisticated
place, a thrilling mix of east and west,
low- and hi-tech, modern and
ancient, intensely secular, intensely
religious. A country dotted with end-
less culinary delights, sensual plea-
sures and fine hotels with serious ser-
vice. A country of small towns that
have retained their original quirkiness
and charm despite the march of
progress. An enviably long coastline
bordering the mighty Med. Verdant
rich hills and dales that are carpeted
with wildflowers and still inhabited
by still-wild animals, and a glorious
awesome desert, a wilderness
unchanged since the days of Abra-
ham.
For travelers looking for the
unusual and willing to be a bit
adventurous, Israel today will reward
and surprise you.
* Opera. And tons of it in the
brand new, big, bold and beautiful
Opera House, the core of the Tel
Aviv Performing Arts Center in the
heart of the city. The next time you
are surfing the net, click on:
http://www.israel-opera.co.il .
* Red Sea Jazz Festival. Cool jazz
under the hot sun, at the end of
every August.
*Try the Israeli Alps! Mount Her-
mon is Israel's highest peak (over
9,000 feet) and home to Israel's one
ski center, Neve Ativ, located on the
lower slopes.
* Not spacey enough for you in
Jerusalem, the ultra-ancient and now
moderately modern city? "Strudel,"
the Cyber Cafe is where it's @ on
Monbaz Street. E-mail the Cyber
Cafe at: strudel-@inter.net.il .
* Spas. How non-pioneer can you
get? Sybaritic spas are cropping up in
unlikely places. For example: the
brand new big Hyatt Regency built
on the rim of the Dead Sea, very
Vogue; in the U.S. phone 800-233-
1234.
Janet Kaplan and Judy Goldman
are co-authors of he Underground
Jerusalem Guide, the Underground Tel
Aviv Guide, and are based in New York
and Jerusalem respectively.
* Sports Complexes. Ben Gurion
would be right proud to see our
youngsters playing world-champ ten-
nis in classy, up-to-snuff tennis and
sport centers all over the country —
Haifa, Tiberias, to Ramat Hasharon,
Ashdod, Jerusalem and more.
* Israel's one and only golf course
was built right on King Herod's own
personal playground in Caesarea — a (--,
fabulous ancient port about 2,000
years ago.
* The Japanese Garden at Kibbutz
Hefziba near Mt. Gilboa in the
Jezreel Valley is closed to the general
public. But if you call Avigdor (06-
653-4153 or 50-577-493) he will
open this unique horticultural trea-
sure for you.
* Ancient wine presses all over
Israel prove that our forebears enjoyed
a frequent "l'chaim," and today we're
all proud of the great modern winer-
ies of Golan and Carmel.
* Paragliding. As gentle as it
sounds. This sport is a cross between
parasailing and hang-gliding: Uou sail
in a seat held aloft by a huge para-
chute way out over the deep blue sea.
* Flightseeing — anything to awe
us! Swoop around in the starry starry
night with Nesher Te'Ufa, a company
specializing in private chartered flights
all over the country. Their grand
offering is the Romance Flight: dinner
at a Tel Aviv restaurant, chocolates,
champagne, flowers too, plus a heav-
enly fly around. How divine! Or just
late for a business date? A number of --\
-/
airplanes will taxi you anywhere in
Israel: Chimnir phone 09-950-4095,
Nesher 03-699-3197, or Orange Avia-
tion 03-656-6170 to name but a few.
* Technion — Israel's MIT is the
beaming heart and soul of the coun-
try's extraordinarily successful hi-tech
international export industry. After a
major renovation, the Coler Visitor
Center on the campus in Haifa has
recently reopened.
* "Rollerblading", the derring-do
urban sport of the decade, has arrived
in Israel full speed ahead. The most
intrepid choose to "blade" around the
obstacles in city streets. Less intrepid
stick to the numerous rollerblading
rinks that have opened all over the
country, like Crazy Roller in Herz-
lyia, Park West in Ra'anana, and/or (---\
the eponymous SK8 in Haifa.
* An Indian synagogue in the
desert! Moshav Nevatim, not far from
Beersheba, is inhabited by 120 "Bene
Israel" families, Indian Jews who
claim to be descendants of one of the
Ten Lost Tribes. CI
