LOCAL ORIENTATIONS
Attending an orientation is highly recommended before your trip. When surveyed, participants who attended the orientation felt more prepared for their trip to Israel, so we compiled a list of all of the orientations for you!
Attending an orientation gives you the chance to:
- ask about packing lists and the weather
- understand how to rent a cell phone, exchange money, and extend your tickets
- meet people from your group
- meet staff on your trip
- participate in a Q&A session about Israel
- feel more at ease about the travel and the program
- get some freebies
Scroll down to see a list of orientations around the country. Some are as soon as December 5th, so mark your calendars now!
