Q It’s not just fun stuff is it? A It is impossible to be in Israel without learning because of the historical surroundings and positive Jewish atmosphere. But of course, we’ll learn while we have loads of fun! Q How can parents keep in touch and share what’s been happening? A We’ll post on social media daily to keep you updated of our progress. It is advised that British mobiles are not brought along due to the high roaming costs. However, we offer data packages you can buy into - prices of which will be sent out with further information. We will encourage regular calls to keep in touch (although parents will have to cover the cost of these calls!). Q Does the price include travel insurance? A The cost of the tour includes full travel insurance arranged by the United Synagogue. Details of the cover can be found in the Terms and Conditions.
