Hi David,
Your parents should know that security in the airport and on ELAL in particular is very good. In addition, in Israel, there is a security guard who checks bags and people entering hotels and restaurants, as well as malls. They should come visit - great season now!
Best regards,
Judy

David,
Many of my clients who have traveled to Israel are older. Actually they seem to be the most grateful and appreciative. One of my clients, Mrs. G from NJ was 78 at the time of travel. When I called her to follow up after she, her husband and son returned she cried. I took a deep breath and asked what happened? She told me she made the biggest mistake of her life, she waited so long to go and was sorry she waited, but elated she went. She cried tears of happiness for having the experience to go and tears of sadness, in her words (paraphrased now) tears for the soldiers who spilled their blood for Israel's survival. The other most memorable was my client Mrs. B, a survivor who I had been in contact with for over a year until we could get her on an affordable trip. A niece and nephew came through with some money for her and she had her life long dream trip. She could wait to bring chocolates to former neighbors from the US and to see relatives she hadn't seen since the war. She reveled in every bit of her tour and now 2 years later still says it was the best thing she ever did in her life.
So David, tell your parents, it is never too late and it is safe. The security is there and it is a way of life in Israel, something they will adapt to with in a day or two. I go once a year to visit family, including our daughter who 6 years ago at the age of 18 said she was outta here and off to Tel Aviv. I sleep at night (usually) and I know she is safer there than she is in NY.
David, you are welcome to contact me privately. I will be happy to speak with your parents and reassure them that this is the trip they do not want to miss.
