TIYULIM and SHABBATONIM 

Call the TIYUL HOTLINE Dial the Israel Center's number 5-66-77-87, then press 211. You'll hear "thank you, one moment please", and then the phone system's music for 15 seconds. Then the Tiyul Hotline message begins. You can listen to the whole message and then press 2 to leave your message, or you can interrupt by pressing 2 right away and then leaving your message. 

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 9:00am to 1:00pm. 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. 18 shekel will get you a delicious sandwich, a refreshing drink (specify regular or diet) and a dessert. Your box lunch willbe ready for you when you board the bus. 

Read carefully...Shabbat HaGadol is Shabbat Parshat Tzav, March 22-23.

We will IY"H be having davening, meals, shiurim, a Shabbat HaGadol Drasha, and more

We have yet to finalize with a guest rabbi, nor have other details been worked out yet.

But we wanted you to know that we are having an In-House Shabbaton HaGadol

You can call to reserve places (a smart idea since space is limited) and we will call you with the details. Watch Torah Tidbits for further details. The Shabbat before Pesach is a good one not to have to cook and clean for. And it is also a great time to review the laws and customs of Pesach and get some new Hagada material. It will be GADOL!
