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.
