In less than 24 hour, all 18 of the "intrepid travellers" will either be in the air, or on the ground in Israel, preparing to meet for a Monday night dinner at our hotel in Tel Aviv. All the packing, purchasing, and preparing are nearly complete (how will we ever get all the bags to be under 50 lbs?), and all that is left is the anticipation of our trip of a lifetime. We are all extremely excited to be able to make this pilgrimage together with the Rabbi and other close friends from our Temple.
For those who will be following us as we blog our way through Israel, the cast of 18 characters is listed below (as you will read stories from-and-about many of us along the way):
The Citron Family: Barbara (mom), Harold (dad), Emily and Ethan
The Kanfer Family: Debi (mom), Abe (dad), Skyler and Barrett
The Klempner Family: Rochelle (mom), Ron (dad), Jonah and Leah
The Putter Family: Ellen (mom), Mark (dad), Alex, Josh and Amanda
...and don't forget Rabbi Howard Stecker!
We hope to keep you updated in words and pictures throughout the trip - see you on the other side!
Wishing all of my trekkers a magical time on your journey. I so badly wish that we were there joining you in every step, however you will all be in our thoughts and we will be with you in spirit! I look forward to reading your entries! :) ~ Kim & Family
