CBI Traveling to Israel 2012!
Rabbi Bruce and Susan Greenbaum plan to lead another group to Israel in October of 2012. We are scheduled to arrive to Jerusalem on October 18, the same time Hadassah’s convention is ending! We will then spend Sabbath evening in Jerusalem and celebrate Shabbat morning in one of the oldest synagogues in the world, on Masada!
This trip will include time in Tel Aviv, a visit to the Golan Heights, and touring both modern and biblical sites throughout Israel. The 10-day trip will include an optional 3-day add-on visit through Eilat to Petra in Jordan! It is not too early to start planning. A registration form will be available soon. Call Rabbi Greenbaum for more details and to add your name to the growing list of those hoping to join this adventure through Israel!
