Meet the shnat/workshop tzevet for 2007-8, hard at work preparing peulot (and enjoying the great weather!)Hi everyone!
As your arrival on Shnat approaches, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know a few details.
Upon arrival in Israel, shnatties should look out for me (in a chultza) in the baggage collection area (it’s immediately after passport control). No one should leave the baggage area until we have done a count-off!
From the airport, we will proceed to Jerusalem, to the Beit Gesher hostel, which is situated just a few minutes walking distance from the Old City. We will situated in Beit Gesher for all of orientation, from arrival through to Sunday the 9th September.
During this time workshop will be undergoing general orientation to Shnat mainly based as peulot with your madrichim, and sichot (discussions) with your shnat kvutsa.
On Sunday 9th, we will depart for Netiv HaLamed Hey - your new home for the next few months! On Monday the 10th is the first tiyul (hike) of the year, to the Judean Desert and Dead Sea area. The tiyul is for 2.5 days, until Erev Rosh Hashana on Wednesday the 12th. Please note that the Rosh Hashana holiday is chofesh (holiday) and all shnatties may use this time to visit family or friends. Alternatively, they are also welcome to stay on Netiv HaLamed Hey, and preparations will be made accordingly for them.
We advise you to pack in such a way that you can access clothes and other items for your first few weeks in an easy manner, until you have time to unpack properly.
A small reminder about your Israel-phones mobile phones - If you are yet to fax your order in, please do so promptly! If you require another copy of the form, please feel free to be in touch.
Lastly, check the blog for regular updates throughout the year (just like this one!).
See you very soon!
