A Testament of Resilience and Purpose

Growing up attending Catholic schools, my connection to the Holy Land ran deep. Little did I know that a life-changing accident would set the stage for a unique journey. Even in challenging circumstances, I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. The Israel Ministry of Tourism extended a gracious invitation, leading to a trip that affirmed the greater plan and the inclusivity efforts of Israel.

Inclusive Israel: A Journey Beyond Expectations

Arriving at The Prima Royal Hotel, nestled in Jerusalem’s heart, my accessible room on the 4th floor offered a cozy retreat. While the bed’s height was slightly lower than ideal, the friendly staff made up for it. The room’s accessibility was a testament to Israel’s commitment to inclusivity in its accommodations.

Exploring Jerusalem: Triumphs Amid Challenges

Jerusalem’s Shabbat presented unique challenges, as many places closed down for 24 hours. Despite this, my journey through the city was a blend of awe and determination. Streets and attractions accessible to wheelchair users, such as the Prima Royal Hotel, were prevalent. The city is making strides toward universal accessibility.
