Family timeshare thrives at Club Hotel Eilat
Attachment theory explains Israeli resilience
Autism typing expands voices, sparking debate
The time is now 6:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Uplifting News, ...
Club Hotel Eilat is described as a place with seven pools and large suites, where a time-share arrangement has grown into a long-running family tradition, including summer holidays and Shavuot stays.
More than 30 years ago, a Jerusalem couple accepted a free dinner and a time-share presentation. Among 19 couples who attended, 10 bought into Club Hotel, securing the third week in May. They joined a time-share network and deposited their week to trade for stays at resorts around the world through the RCI system. This year their May week included Shavuot, and a few weeks before the visit Club Hotel offered half board from Thursday to Monday, including Shavuot, in exchange for giving up the first three nights.
In Israel, attachment theory offers a framework for understanding how children cope with instability and stress in a country where transitions and security concerns are common. For more than two decades, the columnist has met English-speaking families who chose Israel as home and faced those challenges. John Bowlby’s attachment theory describes secure bases—caregivers who are emotionally available, predictable, and attuned. A securely attached child seeks proximity when distressed and feels confident to explore when safe; a child with insecure attachment may cling or withdraw, complicating emotional regulation during crises.
Meanwhile, in the field of autism communication, researchers are exploring ways to help people express themselves. Dr. Daniel Orlievsky, a professor and director at the Catholic University of Buenos Aires, works on helping children and young adults on the autism spectrum learn to communicate through typing. The piece notes debates around Facilitated Communication and Rapid Prompting Method, with concerns about legitimacy; the goal remains to expand options for communication for those who are minimally verbal and to support their ability to share thoughts and experiences.
