Why so expensive, you might ask? Great question! Our expenses include airfare, coach bus, hotel, kosher meals and t-shirts. In additon, we pay for all meals, t-shirts and program supplies for our Tennessee friends.
Financial assistance may be available. Please check with your individual synagogues.
This is an educational trip and typically an excused absence from school. I have a letter for schools explaining the excused absence and the meaningful impact of this trip.
Just let me know if you need it. Thanks, Norman
