This is how I always remember arriving in Israel, often known as ‘the Holy Land’, or ‘the Promised Land’, for its sacred, biblical history. It’s a place I have visited for summer holidays throughout my life. Raised by an Ashkenazi mother and an Israeli father, my connection to the world’s only Jewish state is both personal and spiritual. But, despite the fact Hebrew MUST-DO IN ISRAEL (the national language) is my dad’s mother-tongue, I have never spoken it, which has enabled EAT In Tel Aviv, try Shlomo & Doron Hummus for lunch, Balinjera for me to explore the country both with the comfort of a citizen and the curiosity of a visitor. traditional Ethiopian cuisine, OCD Restaurant and Pastel; in On family holidays, my sisters and I would stay in Israel’s most electric city, Tel Aviv, which Jerusalem, Angelica is incredible.

Driving further south, we reached Eilat, a city that borders Egypt, and snorkelled at Dolphin Reef, marvelling at these friendly creatures and the brightly coloured corals. No trip to Israel would be complete without a visit to its holiest (and most fought-over) city, Jerusalem. Exploring its limestone streets feels like stepping back in time. Here, all the spirituality of the Levant combines; you can listen to the call to prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque while Christian worshippers make their way to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Meanwhile, Jews from all over the world gather at our holiest site, the remaining ruins of our destroyed temple, known as the Western Wall. After my beloved grandmother died, I took a message for her and pushed it into a crack in the wall to join PHOTOGRAPHY: GETTY thousands of other prayers and wishes, and felt a deep sense of peace. It has been five years since I last set foot in Israel and my heart yearns for it.

Will I still feel that sense of promise and wide-eyed wonder? Without a doubt, I will. Arielle (centre) and her sisters on a family holiday goodhousekeeping.com/uk AUGUST 2022 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 165
