So Excited for the Trip!

Hi all!
I'm getting so excited for our Taglit-Birthright Israel trip! The other madrichim (staff people) and I have been coordinating a lot and we are in for an incredible trip. We have an AMAZING group of students going on this trip and I can't wait to get the full group together.

This blog will updated as we are able to do so throughout the trip, so check back to read about our adventure and see photos. To those family members reading from home, please note that we'll have limited internet access throughout the trip, so there may be a few days at a time where the blog is not updated. We appreciate your patience!

Just a few reminders before we leave:

• Be at JFK at 10:30 AM. We will meet at the El Al terminal across from the ticketing counter. We'll have a sign that has our bus number so look out for us there.
• Check your Shorashim application page for all of your flight info and to make sure that you've filled out all the necessary forms. Click HERE to go to your application page. Each student should have your user name and password in an email you got from Shorashim. Your itinerary is on that page as well.
• It's not too late to order a cell phone. You can still get one through your Shorashim application page (use the link above).
• Bring your passport!
