Re: The King David School Israel Trip – Yesh – ?? – December 2004
The King David School has organized an exciting Israel Trip in December 2004, for students in Years 9,
10 and 11. The trip will last for 3 weeks and has been designed so that participants spend as much time
as possible with Israelis of their own age – seeing the real Israel with real Israelis.
The trip consists of 3 main parts: (a) Kibbutz Lotan – spending time on this Reform, ecological
community. Lotan is leading the environmental revolution in Israel, and participants, besides for traveling
the beautiful surrounding area, will have a chance to work on an environmental project happening on the
kibbutz. There will also be a large amount of interaction with the students from Lotan and Yahel – and
from the regional school at Yotvata. (b) The Leo Baeck Centre in Haifa – one of the most impressive
educational institutions in Israel, participants will spend a week, together with students of their own age
from the centre, studying and traveling. Themes for the week will include co-existence between Arabs
and Jews, and pluralism issues in Israel. The third section consists of touring and exploring the significant
and very beautiful sites of Israel, from the Dead Sea and Masada in the south to Ramat Hagolan and the
Galiliee in the north.
We are very excited to open the King David School Israel Trip to members of the UPJ
community from around the country and region. If you have members of your congregation who
might be interested, please help us to reach them.
The trip has already generated a lot of interested, and we are hoping for a group of at least 15
participants. Dates are from 5th – 26th December and the cost is approximately $5000 including airfare,
accommodation and all food and activities.
A poster, with more detailed information, will be sent to teach congregation for publication in the monthly
newsletter, as well as to display in prominent places around your congregation. Please help us to ensure
the success of this trip.
If you have any questions or need more information please contact one of us
