A trip and a leap

Our upcoming pilgrimage to Israel is a tremendous voyage, to be sure, but it's not the only journey we anticipate with excitement ... and a measure of trepidation, as well.  With written contributions from all 50 of our participants, and a smattering of pictures (we've apparently got some avid photographers amongst us), as we embark for Israel we will also venture into the world of blogging for the first time at KKBE!

So stay tuned and take the journey with us ... to Israel and the digital age.

One step closer

Having just celebrated Israel's Birthday, Yom Ha'atzma'ut, we held an informational meeting for the 50 souls who will be making this pilgrimage in June.  The decorations you see are for the birthday party, not the meeting.

The itinerary looks well suited for the variety of traveller.  I'm not exactly sure of the age range, but I think it's 4 to 92, with everything in between. The "special skills" we possess are just as varied.  If the group needs to find chocolate, eat chocolate, wake up in the morning, haggle with a merchant, work with an embassy, or find it's way home....we're set.
