Costs and Details
Hello Everyone
I am thrilled to open registration for this summer's Maccabi Israel trip with the exciting news that we have been able to reduce the price by $600. This was done by using a new provider, Oranim, and finding a less expensive flight on US Air. Please note, the trip dates, registration deadlines, deposits, and penalties have been changed. A $500 deposit is due by February 1, 2009 to guarantee a spot. Registration will be accepted until April 1, 2009 based on the availability of seats.
