Shalom from Israel
The lovely group arrived at Ben Gurion Airport safely. I was there to welcome each one with a big “Welcome Home”. Everyone was excited to be in Israel and eager to begin their program, if a bit tired from the journey. They are on their way to Jerusalem for dinner.
Because it was dark when they arrives, we did not take any pictures today. We will have pictures of group as they tour the country.
Please visit the site from time to time as we post messages and pictures from the group – this way you can join in “virtually” until you come to Israel too.
Shalom

Keren Hananel - your Tour Educator
Keren was born in 1974. She served in the Israeli Air Force as an Education NCO before studying at Bar Ilan University where she earned her BA in Israel Studies and Geography.
Keren began working with Oranim in 1998 and rose to be Guide Coordinator from 2005 to 2008.
Keren is a uniquely engaging Tour Educator. She has received positive feedback form all the groups she has lead, being able to connect to the participants on many different levels and making sure that they “experience” Israel rather than just “tour” it. She works well with adults and children and teenagers adore her.
She currently lives on a picturesque Moshav on the Carmel Mountain
