(March 16, 2021 / JNS) In honor of “Good Deeds Day,” the pilot’s seat of EL AL’s Boeing 737 flight simulator was replaced on Tuesday with a wheelchair to give Israelis with disabilities the experience of piloting a plane.
A joint initiative between EL AL’s “Fly Card” credit-card and Frequent Flyer Club, and ADI Israel’s most comprehensive provider of residential and rehabilitative care for individuals with severe disabilities the opportunity allowed four ADI residents to imagine flying an aircraft as per advanced simulator.

When a German teenager named Setti Pfeiffer begins her day in Israel helping severely disabled children, she often thinks of her great-grandfathers.
Almost eight decades ago, Pfeiffer’s maternal great-grandfather Herman Bernhardt helped build the Auschwitz death camp. And while she doesn’t know as much about her great-grandfather on her father’s side, the 18-year old believes that he was involved in war crimes.
“He volunteered to go to the SS and he was part of a mission in which he expelled Jews and Poles from their homes so Germans could settle there. He was involved in “killing and raping,” she said during a recent telephone interview.
