we have received about our tiyulim
Jerusalem on November 29th
Hi
Judith,
I
would like you to know how much I enjoyed the trip to Jerusalem on November
29th...as usual, you were the perfect organizer...very kind
considerate, informative and patient and dare I say....tolerant?
I only
have one complaint, in my opinion, three " ports of call " are as much as
anyone can really take in in depth...certainly for the elderly ( of
which
I have become one!) Please would it be a possibility to take this into
consideration for the future?
The
exception has to be the one trip when we went to the "Sonnet e Lumiere"
which one can only go to at night, and was well worth getting home
about
1 am! What a magical day that was with Hertzl's museum in the afternoon and
the show at the Citadel later.....the best tiul I have ever been
to in
my life in Israel....and largely due to your input!
All
the best

Modern Jewish
Revival in Ancient Philista
(aka Ashdod and Environs)
It is true that treks to Israel's iconic tourist sites are central to an
acquaintance with Israel.
I have found that the tiyulim with the AACI are a wonderful way to enter
into a more intimate relationship with our beautiful country, its unique
history and its people.
Through visits to "off the track" places, the traveler learns about the
boundless energy and creativity of our people.
A trip with the AACI is a way to literally feel the pulse of this
dynamic country.
The recent visit to the South with guide Hughie Aumann was a totally
fascinating look into
the history of Bnei Darom, its "boutique" olive oil industry, its Sefer
Torah miraculously received from Lebanon.
In addition, a visit to
neighboring kibbutz Nir Galim museum (Beit Edut ) Testimony House was an
experience to learn about the survivors of the Shoah in a way that it is
diffent from, but complementary to a visit to Yad Vashem.
And that was just before lunch!I
recommend these highly organized tiyulim.

After lunch we drove
through Ashdod to a small but fascinating Philistine Museum where Hughie showed us hints of
customs which we Jews later adopted.
After a stop at Jonah's Hill and a view of the port area we arrived at
Ashdod
Port, a huge and bustling
place.
We returned home after 7pm tired but excited by the wonderful day we had
experienced.

Two-day Tiyul to the
Golan
Take a superb guide,
efficient and considerate organization, add an easily digestible mixture of
history, geography, topography, geology, archeology and ecology.
Mix into an intelligent, appreciative and friendly social atmosphere,
comfortable accommodation and excellent food and top off with natural
superfruit cosmetics and delicious chocolate.
Together with delightful weather, this was a confection which made a very
enjoyable and stimulating tiyul to a unique part of our land.
Thank you AACI, we look forward to more.
