Packing List

The weather in Israel will be spring-like, with sunny, mild days and beautiful evenings. The temperatures will be generally in the 70s and low 80s, and breezes can be expected by the ocean. Please bring enough clothes for the entire trip, since laundry is not available during the program. However, if you have to wash a few things, be sure to bring Woolite and you can wash by hand in the sink. The general dress in Israel is very casual.

One suitcase is recommended as is one carry-on, which should have a change of clothes in it, as well as medications.
