Last month, El Al Israel airlines celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first nonstop flight from New York to Tel Aviv, which took place on June 15, 1961. The maiden flight established three world records: the first nonstop service between New York and Tel Aviv; the fastest flight between the two cities (9 hours, 33 minutes); and the longest nonstop commercial flight to date at a distance of 5,760 miles.

Testimonials from our Travelers
Dear Jerusalem Tours International,
Thank you for the extra effort that you took to make our pilgrimage to the holy land even more meaningful, despite the impossible task of getting everything in, in less than 10 days! I think Sarah and Tina are trying to arrange a reunion of the group sometime during January. It would be wonderful if you, Danny and Joseph could come!
Love Joyce
