http://www.FashionTV.com/videos TEL AVIV – FashionTV is in Tel Aviv for a Purim party at the Fashion Bar. Purim is the Jewish holiday that is celebrated by dressing up in lavish costumes, giving gifts of food and drink and overall, being merry. The beautiful girls at the bash are dressed up in sexy attire and masks, wigs, hats, and high heels are all part of the package. Guests enjoy drinks, dance on tabletops, and have a ball.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) -Jordi Cruyff has been appointed sports director of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football club.

The former Manchester United midfielder will officially join the Israeli Premier League club at the end of the season.

Cruyff told Maccabi Tel Aviv’s website: “Maccabi is a special club with a great tradition and I am convinced that with hard work and the right decisions we will develop something that the club and the fans will all be proud of.”

The 38-year-old son of former Dutch international star Johan Cruyff has been technical director at Cypriot club AIK Larnaca for the past two years.

The team is currently coached by Nir Levine, who took the position on a temporary basis after Moti Ivanir was sacked in December.

“We all know what makes a good hotel good: impeccable service, excellent food, beautiful grounds (and let’s not forget a bed so plush that you dread going home). But for all of us here at Condé Nast Traveler, a good hotel is more than just a blissful temporary roost: It’s also a bellwether, an important peek at what you, our readers, are really looking for in your travels, not to mention in the very destinations you’re traveling to. This year’s Hot List, our sixteenth, includes 121 properties in 49 countries.”

752,000 visitors reach Israel during early months of 2012; one-day tourist entries rise 78% from 2011; Peres in Golan to promote tourism.

The Central Bureau of Statistics reported Monday that there were 752,000 tourist entries during the first quarter of 2012, an all-time high. There were 2% more tourist entries during the first quarter than in the corresponding quarter of 2011, and 1% more than in the corresponding quarter of 2010, the previous all-time high.

One-day tourist entries rose 78% to 41,000 in March from 23,000 in March 2011.

The political situation in Egypt last year was apparently responsible for the drop in one-day tourist entries, but there has subsequently been an improvement and return to normalcy. This is also seen in the doubling of tourist entries across the Egyptian border in March, compared with March last year.

President Shimon Peres was visiting the Golan Heights on Monday in his bid to promote Israel’s tourism industry. The president also visited the Negev and the Arava last week.
