We were forced to cancel due to pressure in the office. Instead, we spent a wonderful week cruising on the canals and rivers of France. A flight to Paris and a 2 1/2 train ride on the TGV brought us to Jamac in Cognac Country. For the next 7 days we cruised in a beautiful 3-cabined Motoryacht on the Charante River (piloting ourselves!!!) stopping whenever we fell like it, eating at fabulous French restaurants (not too expensive) and taking our bicycles for a daily ride through the countryside. Truly a great week. For those of you looking for something different, this is the answer. There are 8 different routes, and prices approximately $100 per couple, per night, for the cruise alone. I'll be pleased to advise any of you who are interested. The long, hot summer turned out to be pretty cool and the next rush is on the chagim when at the time of writing most planes are already fully booked. Still worth trying, though. For those of you who prefer Winter Vacations, we will be happy to assist with the latest deals and updated information. My thanks to one of Telfed's readers who pointed out to me that many people do not realise that 1 am a Travel Agent, as it's not stated clearly. I hope it is now clear. My staff and I wish you a Happy and Peaceful New Year and well over the fast. Thank you and look forward to your continued support in the future.

Jerusalem is both Israel’s capital city and its most populous, with a total of over 815,000 residents this year – meaning that 1 in every 10 of the country’s residents lives in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is characterized as well by its distinctive cultural and political history and a religious, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity that together weave the intricate fabric of this complex city. This unique character of the City of Jerusalem is reflected in the nearly 50-year mandate of the Jerusalem Foundation.

    From the Shavei Tzion Archives: Transportation and Transport February, 2015 Judith Temime On April 21, 1938, one week after the founding of our moshav, the "Juedische Rundschau", the official newspaper of the German Zionist Federation, wrote excitedly: "A new place on the map of Palestine, the light of a new projector in the night skies of Palestine, a new name in the mouths of the Jews of Palestine and the Diaspora. Out of Rexingen, Schawei Zion has risen…the people of Rexingen have settled on their land." Paving the entry road in Shavei Tzion, spring 1938. On the left, a Jewish Settlement Policeman (JSP ghaffir) stands guard. From the collection of the Shavei Tzion Archives. "Davar", on April 14, 1938, only one day after the tower and stockade encampment was built here on the first day of settlement, reported that "the settlers went out this morning to pave the road…one kilometer long, it will link the new settlement with the Acre-Beirut road". In mining sand from our seafront for use in construction, the settlers worked alongside laborers from "Even v'Seed" and in paving the road they worked with laborers from "Solel Boneh" so that from the very inception of the moshav, members earned wages to support the settlement. At the beginning of May in 1938, Dr. Manfred Scheuer, the British Mandate-appointed "mukhtar" (headman) of the new, little settlement wrote in his journal: "Today, Fredy Weil and Zev Berlinger began to learn how to lay stones in paving the road. Fredy had the opportunity of acquiring the skill during his six weeks in a concentration camp and (he) said yesterday that a man should be able to lay 60 square meters and earn a high wage.

  • Retail Prices in a City*
    Retail Prices in a City Alon Eizenberg Saul Lach The Hebrew University and CEPR The Hebrew University and CEPR Merav Yiftach Israel Central Bureau of Statistics February 2017 Abstract We study grocery price differentials across neighborhoods in a large metropolitan area (the city of Jerusalem, Israel). Prices in commercial areas are persistently lower than in residential neighborhoods. We also observe substantial price variation within residen- tial neighborhoods: retailers that operate in peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods charge some of the highest prices in the city. Using CPI data on prices and neighborhood-level credit card data on expenditure patterns, we estimate a model in which households choose where to shop and how many units of a composite good to purchase. The data and the estimates are consistent with very strong spatial segmentation. Combined with a pricing equation, the demand estimates are used to simulate interventions aimed at reducing the cost of grocery shopping. We calculate the impact on the prices charged in each neighbor- hood and on the expected price paid by its residents - a weighted average of the prices paid at each destination, with the weights being the probabilities of shopping at each destina- tion. Focusing on prices alone provides an incomplete picture and may even be misleading. Specifically, we find that interventions that make the commercial areas more attractive and accessible yield only minor price reductions, yet expected prices decrease in a pronounced fashion. The benefits are particularly strong for residents of the peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods. We thank Eyal Meharian and Irit Mishali for their invaluable help with collecting the price data and with the provision of the geographic (distance) data.

    Name and Symbol: Part 1 From the Shavei Tzion Archives Judith Temime April 2017 Moshav Shavei Tzion, founded as a Tower and Stockade settlement in the Land of Israel in April 1938, faithfully preserves in its collective memory the village of origin of the first pioneering settlers here: picturesque Rexingen in southwest Germany, in the state of Baden-Württemburg, at the edge of the Black Forest. On the eve of World War 2, Rexingen had some 1,000 inhabitants, about a third of whom were Jews. The Jewish community there—stable, fruitful, proud—was then 400 years old. Postcard. Looking east toward Rexingen near Horb, on the Neckar River. To the left of center in the photo is the light-roofed synagogue. 1920s-30s (?)
