AJ is Israel Bound in 2022!
Thursday, October 13 to Thursday, October 27, 2022
|
|
There is an informational meeting about the trip on January 6 (tonight!) at 7:30 PM.
By Computer
By Phone: 929.436.2866 or 301.715.8592
Meeting ID: 810 4268 5049
Passcode: Israel
In just under a year, AJ will be embarking on our first Israel tour with Rav Shai as the congregation’s rabbi. He made two executive decisions, and then our tour operator, Keshet, and our amazing Israel committee filled in the framework. We’ll be leaving for our two-week trip on October 13, 2022 — Hol HaMoed Sukkot! That means that we’ll be spending the first four days of the trip in Jerusalem celebrating Sukkot, Shabbat, and Shmini Atzeret/Simhat Torah. You’ll be able to grab falafel or schwarma and eat it in a sukkah. You’ll also be able to check out a variety of shuls from Jerusalem’s Great Synagogue to a Modern Orthodox minyan where women read Torah to the Conservative synagogue on Agron Street. The program will be run on two tracks. The first track, the “Pioneers,” is for folks with limited exposure to Israel. The second group, the “Veterans,” will be focusing on food, energy, and the environment. Every night we’ll reconvene for dinner, swap stories from the day, and, sometimes, enjoy another program for all of us.
We’ve tried to make the trip affordable — $5,099 per person, double occupancy, land only. The detailed itinerary for the "Pioneers" is here, and the itinerary for the "Veterans" is here. Since you’re wondering — YES! It will sometimes be possible to jump tracks on occasion. We are capping each track at 24 people.
We just received pricing for the flight on El Al: Economy is priced at $1,244 each and premium at $2,304 each.
Bernie Dishler is chairing the Israel Committee. Send him an email to let him know if you’re interested, if you have questions, or if you’re ready to put down a deposit. We’ll start meeting in January 2022 to best prepare.
Rainbow Connection to Jerusalem!
