| | 1. Last Minute Travel Day Reminders-
- Throughout the day I will be posting to the Workshop 61 blog as I hear news about each travel groups progress. You can access and follow throughout the day at http://hdnaworkshop61.blogspot.com/ . (This is also the same blog address that will be used throughout the year to keep you updated about the program.)
- For all those flying in to JFK airport, when you land make your way to the baggage claim carousel for your flight, and look for a member of Habonim Staff wearing a chultzah (blue shirt with red strings at the neckline) who will be there to collect you. They will then bring you to the group meeting area near the El Al check-in desk. In the unlikely event that you do not see anyone when you arrive, speak with a airline agent or find a payphone and call 917-822-2330.
- For all those flying into JFK airport, if you incur any baggage costs as a result of the difference in baggage allowances between your domestic and international flights please hold on to your receipt to forward to our office. We are prepared to reimburse you for these overages or deduct the amount spend from your overall program balance. If you incur baggage fees because your luggage is in excess of international allowances you will be responsible for those costs and NOT the program.
If you have any questions or concerns at any point during travel day, you can always reach me at 917-822-2330. |
| 2. Locations of Workshop Orientation-
After the group arrives in Israel they will be immediately met by our Workshop staff who will be waiting for them on the other side of security. From there they will get on buses and be taken to Nes Harim for the beginning of Workshop Orientation. Nes Harim is outside Jerusalem and they will be there until September 6 when they will transfer to Kibbutz Ravid (near Akko) for the remainder of orientation. Following that weekend and the end of orientation, on September 11 the group will make their way to their new home on Kibbutz Ein Dor. |
We are very excited for tomorrow's send off as I'm sure you all are as well. I will be at JFK all day helping to coordinate and send an email out to families when the international group flight takes off tomorrow night. |
