The JPost Podcast - Travel Edition

We're delighted to welcome three guests on this episode of the podcast: We quickly stop in Taipei and a small airport in northern China before meeting Olga Bokhonovskaya from Your Jewish Heritage Guide as she takes us on a whistle-stop tour of Regensburg, The UNESCO-recognized only authentically-preserved large medieval city in Germany. We learn of the general sites and Regensburg's fascinating millenia-long Jewish story.

Beyond its canal, jungle and rainforests, Panama is manna from heaven for travelers who keep kosher. There are some 50 top-notch kosher eateries to try, the vast majority of them in the capital, Panama City. There's Japanese, steakhouses, fancy bakeries plus one of the largest kosher supermarkets outside of Israel. Mark and David also take you on an unforgettable journey beyond the fine dining and into the 15,000-strong Jewish community to meet its leaders and members. This time:  * Dutch robots versus humans * Soft landing into the Adama (earth) * Now that's a pleasant Aroma (not what you are thinking!) * Audio perfection in the synagogue * One impressive study hall * Why Panama? Why Jewish? * How to get there? Where to stay? And all the other FAQs * Our man in Panama * All about the rabbi * A different kind of Aria * The wonderful Ceci * Spice up your life - Japanese style

We've all got some great travel stories to tell. This time Mark and David asked listeners, friends and one or two famous travelers for their funniest, most loveable anecdotes...   This time: * The Amateur Traveler on what to do between flights * The Two Flying Boys have a haircut * Suhair and the adventures of a giant teddy bear  * Everything melts in Karen's presence  * Warren flies a TransAtlantic classic * Colin's penchant for Beethoven causes trouble * Is Dinesh dying in Melbourne?  * Stanley takes his tefillin everywhere * From panic to singing highs with Irena * Mark and David add their own tales of bombs, rabbis and you-know-what at 36,000

Most of us meet rabbis in synagogues, wedding halls, or cemeteries. But in this episode, we hit the road with two rabbis who have taken their faith far beyond the pulpit. First, we meet Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft, affectionately known as "The Traveling Rabbi," who has spent decades serving far-flung Jewish communities across Africa. Then, we head to London Heathrow Airport with Rabbi Hershi Vogel, one of the world’s few Jewish airport chaplains, to learn what it means to offer spiritual support in one of the busiest transit hubs on Earth.

Our latest episode takes you around the world in luxury, unless of course you'd prefer to work below decks. This time we get the VIP treatment with Celebrity Cruises, we meet an old friend in a new Far East location with Royal Caribbean International before we go behind the scenes and learn what it's like to work on a cruise ship with Jobs on a Ship.
