We have arrived!

Hi, Everyone!

We arrived safely on Monday afternoon. 26 of us flew together from Minneapolis to Tel Aviv and the others met us at the hotel. We are still waiting on a few people to join us after problems with their flights that they booked separately.

When we got to the airport, we were introduced to our tour guide Muki and our youth counselor Daniella. Muki is a South African who moved to Israel in 1987 and Daniella is a 25 year old who just finished getting her degree.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were met by Rabbi Spilker. We quickly dropped off our bags and went out for dinner at Maganda Restaurant, a Yemeni-Israeli restaurant. We had a great dinner of falafel, hummus pita and meat.

We will be traying to update the blog as frequently as possible. Each family will be responsible for one day so that you can hear from all of us.

Thanks,
Laurel
