NOTE CHANGES IN HOURS

THE TRAVEL DESK • The TRAVEL DESK of the Israel Center exists...
to make registration and detail-receiving for Israel Center tiyulim more efficient and less head-achy for you.

To help you - whether you live in Israel or are visiting - plan private tiyulim and make in-Israel travel arrangements 
Sarah will be happy to assist you on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Call Sarah at the Center, 566-7787 ext. 249. 

Note: When a tiyul says "Bring your own lunch", you can do that... or this: Call the TRAVEL DESK or the TIYUL HOTLINE up to the day before the TIYUL and order a box lunch from the Israel Center Cafe. 20 shekel will get you a delicious sandwich, a refreshing drink (specify regular or diet) and a dessert. Your box lunch will be ready for you when you board the bus.

They flew the coop!
Apologies to those who signed up for last Tuesday's tiyul. The falcons, main feature of the tiyul, unexpectedly continued their migratory pattern on the previous day. Hence, the tiyul was canceled last minute.
