Dear Valued Selah Community, This week, with both joy and a heavy heart, we share a significant update regarding our tours to Israel and Palestine. Due to the ongoing war, we’ve had to cancel many tours, resulting in refunds totalling over $700,000 to our cherished clients, with more to come. While it’s a bittersweet moment, we’re immensely proud that our clients received a maximum refund, a testament to our decades-long partnership and friendship with our suppliers in the Holy Land. 🤝 Decades-Long Partnership: Our strong ties with suppliers in the Holy Land allowed us to prioritise our clients’ well-being during these challenging times. The maximum refunds wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and understanding from our friends and partners in Israel and Palestine. 🌟 Values of Honesty and Integrity: In the face of adversity, our commitment to honesty and integrity shines through.

Yet, we remain resilient and hopeful for a future where peace reigns in the Holy Land. We have always trusted God with this business…

If you’ve ever sat on the floor while packing for your next trip wondering how on earth you are going to fit everything in then we’re here to help. Channeling Marie Kondo (a Japanese organising consultant) might help you pare it down a bit but packing for a holiday with only items that spark joy may see you missing the essentials.  So we’ve got a few hints and tips that will help you pack like a minimalist while not missing any important items. Do you really need it? Look at every item you are planning on packing then think back to your last holiday, did you actually use it or was it more a case of ‘I might need one’?  Also think about what would happen if you needed it but didn’t have it?
