'r/e)/ (whoever they are) say its the best form of advertising. So, rather than

us (the sponsors of this trip) teeing you (you know who you are what a fan- .

tastic experience this is, we II let some of . the people wko 've actually gone on

one of these trips speak for us.

I touched ancient artifacts and studied historical ruins. We climbed Masada at 5 a.m.,

floated in the Dead Sea, danced our butts off on a boat cruise, visited the Holocaust

museum, san g with friends outside a kibbutz, pray ed at the Western Wall, partied till

dawn and took a dip in the Mediterranean Sea at 2 a.m. I was so lucky to have traveled

to such an extraordinary place with such g reat people.
