INVITATION TO JOIN AMERICANS FOR A SAFE ISRAEL FOR SHABBAT CHAYE SARAH IN HEBRON – AND ANOTHER UNIQUE CHIZUK MISSION TO ISRAEL – OCT. 24-NOV. 2, 2010
As AFSI has done since 1994, we are once again sponsoring a unique trip to Israel that enables participants to see the real Israel. In addition to the wonderful sights, sounds, and smells of Israel that are available to all tourists, AFSI's missions incorporate visiting the places, and meeting the people on the ground in Israel who are making the difference in preserving the heritage of the Jewish people.
AFSI's belief in a whole Israel, "yisrael shlayma", takes people to Sderot, to the new communities of the displaced persons from Gush Katif, to Nir Oz, Yevul, and the Haluzia desert, and to Israel's Grand Canyon, the Machtesh Ramon. The mission will travel to the Negev, to the Hebron hills, to Kiryat Arba and Hebron. Experiencing Chaye Sarah in the Isaac Hall at the Ma'arat HaMachpela is described as a life-changing experience for many. Visiting the Temple Mount in Yerushalayim, and touring east Jerusalem are essential parts of the mission, as is a tour of the Shomron communities. Meetings with the lay leadership as well as Knesset members and IDF personalities are all part of the experience. Expert guides and local guides accompany the group at all times.
Participants make their own flight arrangements, planning to meet the group on Monday morning, Oct. 25, 8 AM, at Ben Gurion airport in Israel. Most people arrange to fly from Newark on El Al's 2:15 flight. For information regarding the cost for the land portion of the trip, which includes guides, transportation, entrance fees, hotels, all breakfasts, most dinners, and some lunches, please contact AFSI: 212-828-2424; afsi@rcn.com. Deposits are due immediately with full payment by Oct. 4, 2010.
