Follow BU students as they embark on their first trip ever to Israel on birthright this summer!
Looking forward to the trip of a lifetime!
After months of anticipation, there are only two days left until I set out for the trip of a lifetime! Since I was unable to go in past years, I could not have been more excited when I heard the news earlier this year that I would finally be going to Israel. While the wait has been hard, this last week has been especially difficult because my sister has been sending me pictures of all things that I’ll be doing next week from her own Birthright group that is in Israel right now. (See you soon, Amanda!)
While the entire trip is sure to be full of amazing experiences, friends who have gone on the trip have told me to look forward to a few in particular. Hiking up Masada and swimming in the Dead Sea are going to be a blast. Seeing the Western Wall in person will bring everything I have learned about Judaism and Jewish history to life. The fact that our trip to the wall is on Shabbat will make it that much more memorable.
All in all, I can’t wait to meet the group and have a great time in Israel! See everyone soon!
Stay tuned!
Stay tuned for daily photos, videos and personal reflections of our adventures. It all goes down at JFK Airport on Sunday, May 31 2015 as we embark on this very special trip of a lifetime.
