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.
They met their Tour Educator and are on their way to Tel Aviv. All the luggage arrived in Israel too – so everyone is all set` to start experiencing Israel properly.
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
