Time to visit Israel
|
Beit Chaverim is planning our first community trip to Israel. Time to make plans to revisit your favorite places, or explore Israel for the first time. You are going to fall in love- all over again! This is a great opportunity to feed our minds, souls and bellies (food tastes best in Israel!) I would like to gauge interest and find out what dates work best for everyone. Let the office know what week between 10/22 and 11/20 would work best for you.
