A Moment in Time: The Shortest Flight from Tel Aviv

Dear all,

Here’s the photo I took last week upon departure from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. I was on the shortest flight that exists from Israel.

It was not to Cyprus.

It was to Amman, Jordan, covering a distance of 69 miles. The flight schedule is slotted for 45 minutes, though the actual time in the air is less than 20 minutes! (It’s quite an incredible flight for an avgeek like me!)

But those 20 minutes connect two cultures that in so many ways are worlds apart. The flight is a handshake, an olive branch, an effort to communicate. It’s a smile, a gesture, a bridge.

If Israel and Jordan can have this – so can we with those in our lives.

Take a moment in time to consider:

When am I going to make it happen?

The shortest distance between two points is a line. Let’s get that line drawn!

With love and Shalom,
