The Spring emerges at the foot of Mount Hermon, Israel’s tallest mountain, and flows through a canyon for 3.5km, eventually leading to the breathtaking Banias Waterfall. During hot summer […]

Milestones Israel is all about creating a personal connection with Israel.

I always come back to one particular seder a few years ago that was by far the best and most memorable. The entire family, grandparents, babies and everyone in between, headed into the […]
