The safest airline in the world. The first time I went to Israel

I went EL AL

How wonderful it was to me, that all the passengers cheered and clapped when we landed in Israel❤️

I loved all the young men at prayer at the back standing in the aisle, their heads bowed in their tallit, and in fine voice.

I have some really fabulous stories about my interactions with El Al security when I worked at Heathrow airport. I have detailed some of it in a book, which unfortunately I'm not allowed to have published. Great airline, great people who work for it and extremely safe.

I’ve been to Israel once and we flew EL AL. There is nothing like the emotional experience of the passengers singing HaTikvah when the plane touches down.

One of our flights was right after the Yom Kippur war when I volunteered to help on a Kibbutz. Have never experienced something so emotional that when we were landing in Lod, the passengers were crying and singing Hatikvah. Yes, tickets are more expensive but you are supporting a country not just a business.

I always feel proud of our tribe when I read Future of Jewish. But today’s essay on El Al makes my heart burst. Such a wonderful story-El Al is a true symbol of who we are. Very inspiring Joshua…a small token of my appreciation has been sent to support your efforts. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱💙💙💙
