As the title says, I am headed to Israel on my birthright!! I am leaving NYC on the 11th, and will be there until the 21st. If anyone would like to give me advice, or if anyone lives out there and would consider meeting up with a fellow JTF'er let me know!
Thanks,
ERKS

I will try to visit Israel end of this year.

AH I did it and it was awesome!! The bus was 80% reform and a few had Jewish fathers only and were catholic, the tour guide was a deform communist and the second bus driver was Mohammed, and I didn't care about any of that and just walked out on the communist's speeches because I was in love with Israel right away. It's the coolest place to be. You should extend your ticket to do what you want after because it was really awesome. Just really, it's not a joke, stay away from Russians, even in stores I've seen the owner attack you if he is in a bad mood. Arabs are worse. If you take taxis, take a Jewish one or Sheriutz or something like that, which is like a big car that goes around to stops like a communal taxi, and you can basically get across the country for like 20 bucks.
I like the dead sea and the nature really, just what ever you do, always be wearing a hat, and always have a lot of water.

Don't tell random young Israelis in Tel-Aviv that you are a Kahanist. Big buzz killer. None of them want to talk about politics.

why does it take ten days to get there? by boat?
And good luck!
