FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What safety and security measures will there be on Tribe Israel Tour?
A We will have a fully trained and experienced security guard with the group at all times. We also work with the Cheder Matzav (Official Israeli Security Team) through which ggg our group leaders communicate with Israeli Security and Intelligence to check that all activities can carry on. They will advise us if anything needs to be changed on our itinerary. Q How is the Tribe Israel Tour going to be staffed? A We have two Tribe madrichim, a licensed tour guide and a security guard/first aider per group. There will also be a Tribe professional overseeing the programme based in Israel. 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 a daily blog with photos on our website. It is advised that British mobiles are not brought along due to the high roaming costs. However, we are providing an optional Israeli mobile phone for each participant (there will be a small fee) and we will encourage regular calls to keep in touch (although parents will have to cover the cost of these calls!). There will also be pay phones in the youth hostels and hotels. 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.
