If you recall, easyJet told us last week that they would be happy to allow a minyan on board their Tel Aviv-London routes but were unaware of any having taken place.

Well, I am pleased to update you. A Londoner flying back home has informed me that a few days ago he was approached by a member of the cabin crew asking him for the name of the evening prayer.

Whereupon an announcement duly came over the tannoy from the pilot inviting passengers to daven ma’ariv.

Now that’s what I call in-flight service. Wait till they making calls for grace after meals.
