The Jewish week? What’s that?
Hey, I read about this trip in the Jewish Week!
And is that Laya in the banner? She’s adorable!
Hahaha, thanks, ck, for the information (and TM, you were right, ck does know all). I need to get my shul connected to some larger national and international groups in order to provide more opportunities to Jews in cornfields. 🙂 Thanks!
See, ck knows all.
Right. Talk to ck because I’m the dude with jillions of dollars that funds these trips. Right. What’s really kinda frightening is that I will be on this trip, in effect, as a chaperone. Who’s going to chaperone the chaperones? Heh. At least laya will be there to keep me in check.
But in all seriousness Ziva, you can talk to an open minded, education oriented birthright israel trip provider like IsraelExperts and see about maybe organizing a bus for next winter – all you need to do is fing between 35-42 eligible participants. Then you can be the madrichah, in theory.
I know that groups like the American Israel Friendship League sends teachers and other groups to Israel on missions all the time. The best way to find out about these sorts of things is to get involved, hard core, in one of these groups. They’ll eventually send you off to Israel, especially if you’ve never been. You won’t have as good a time as you would on the Jewlicious bus, but one takes what one can, eh?
Ziva, seriously, that is a great idea. Somebody should go to birthright and organize some teacher groups. Is there anything more important than allowing teachers to see firsthand and impart what they’ve seen to others?
Talk to ck. 😉
Argh! Can I just pretend to be the right age? Ok, ok, we’ve covered it in another blogcomment section. But I’m a teacher: we don’t make actual money! I could chaperone……? 🙂 It sounds like a rockin’ time!
oh, it will be michael, it will be.
Yeah, wish that had occured to me. Registration was turned into a remarkably difficult, hour-and-fifteen-minute long task this morning. But, in the end, I got registered. And, as far as I know, I’ll be tripping with Jewlicious. It had better be a pretty rockin’ time, ck.
Thanks for the tips lynn!
A couple of tips from someone who registered this morning:
1. Use Netscape. The servers are/were on overload and Netscape or a browser that doesn’t dump form info when it can’t connect to a new page, like IE does.
2. If you’re registering multiple people from the same computer, do them one at a time and clear the cookies from birthright inbetween. Otherwise you’ll end up trying to strangle your internet connection, believe me.
