Banking on the Future

Tom Tugend March 1, 2001

Tourism to Israel is slumping, but the country\’s national airline is betting $400 million on a liftoff.

Looking for A Legend

Larry Tritten March 1, 2001

Years ago I\’d heard from someone or read somewhere that Wyatt Earp is buried in Colma, near San Francisco, a bit of provocative trivia whose truth I\’d never been sure of. One day a while back I decided to check it out. I would have thought that one of the most famous figures in the history of the Old West would have ended up in the landscape of his legend. In the case of Wyatt Earp, this would mean Dodge City, Wichita, or more appropriately, Tombstone.

Jews With Altitude

Chip Kaplan February 1, 2001

Downhill Doubts

J.D. Smith February 1, 2001

My father has disowned me. We did not get into a fight about the family business — there is no family business. I did not marry out of the faith, and I have no children about whose upbringing we can disagree. The source of our irreconcilable differences is that we went skiing together last year, and he is convinced that I cannot be his natural child.

Israel All to Yourself

Adam Wills January 18, 2001

I was more than a little conflicted when Israel\’s Ministry of Tourism invited me to visit the Holy Land for one week in December to judge for myself whether the country was safe enough for tourists. I\’d never traveled to Israel before, and while I knew that life was going on as usual for most Israelis, CNN\’s daily images of conflict and the U.S. State Department\’s warning fed my apprehension.

Downward Trend

Mike Levy January 18, 2001

Tour operator Tova Gilead returned from a 10-day trip to Israel in early January and brought back wonderful stories of people experiencing the beauty and history of the Holy Land, many for the first time.

Open Season

Jeff Wallach January 4, 2001

Those who see little distinction between religion and golf might be tempted to daven with their heads pointed northwest, toward Pebble Beach.

Tom Tugend December 14, 2000

More than 300,000 visitors have thronged the Jewish Museum in Berlin since it opened to the public in February 1999, and more are coming at a clip of 20,000 each month.
