Tiyulim and Shabbatonim
THE TRAVEL DESK for making registration and receiving info of Israel Center tiyulim. And, to help you - whether you live in Israel or are visiting - plan private tiyulim and make in-Israel travel arrangements. We will be happy to assist you from 9:00am-1:00pm on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Call Rochel at The Travel Desk of the Israel Center, 566-7787 ext. 249; fax: 566-7876 • tiyul@israelcenter.co.il

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 (or less). 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 leaving your message sooner.

What’s for lunch? When a tiyul says “bring your own lunch”, you can buy one instead from the Israel Center Cafe. Call the TRAVEL DESK or TIYUL HOTLINE up to the day before the TIYUL and request a box lunch. 18š will get you a delicious sandwich (specify your preference), a refreshing drink (specify regular or diet) and a dessert. Your box will be ready for you when you board the bus.

TIYUL POLICIES Please note: We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee in case of last-minute cancellations. (Please speak to Rochel at the Travel Desk when making reservations.) Also... Price of tiyul is based on a minimum number of participants.

Students from Abroad Are your parents planning on visiting you some time this year? If so, you want to speak to us! (566-7787 ext. 211 or 249). We have many attractive deals for them... and you. Let us turn an ordinary “been there, did it” visit into an unforgettable, special one!

KASHRUT POLICY Food for Israel Center In-House programs is supervised by OU-in-Israel - Mehadrin. Israel Center sponsored trips and programs are under Mehadrin Hashgacha. Hotels, restaurants, and tiyulim advertised by the Travel Desk or by outside parties are not necessarily Mehadrin and are not endorsed by the OU or the Israel Center.

Dear Shabbaton participant,
We would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very enjoyable and educational Shabbat. From past experience, we know that the shiurim, camaraderie, and delicious meals will all contribute to a truly delightful Shabbat. - P.S. If you are not a Shabbaton participant but are reading these words anyway, then we can only say "we’ll miss you" and you’ll miss a good time.
