Shalom, asking for suggestions / possible date changes.
Itinerary (dates & events):
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| March 5 | San Francisco to London (Virgin Atlantic) |
| March 6 | Decompress in London |
| March 7 | Easyjet to Tel Aviv |
| March 8 | First full day in Israel |
| March 11 | Begin NFTY "Parent Tour" based at Tzuva (Rachel's school) |
| March 19 | Last day of "Parent Tour" with Rachel |
| March 25 | Pesach with Danny Gewurtz & family |
We'll probably book these tickets on Sat. night or Sunday. Again, if any sees a reason we should alter our dates (Israel from March 8 to April 4) then please let us know ASAPractical.
In particular, if there's time(s) & date(s) when it would be convenient for you to meet up with us, please tell us (we don't want to be in the wrong place at the right time :-) Our constraint is that Rachel's school discourages her leaving (eg for visiting relatives) except for their 'days-off on Fridays & Saturdays.
These are our current plans. We haven't made firm plans on exactly what we'll see or where we'll go in Israel, so we haven't booked lodging yet (except for the 'Parent Tour' from March 11--19) and so we appreciate all and any suggestions. If anyone has a favorite destination, motel, kibbutz, or B&B (particularly one that's discounted during the Pesach season :-) please let us know.
While we're in Israel we'd like to meet with the Yad Vashem folk (et al) about recognizing Anton Roder (aka 'Toni the Priest) as a 'Righteous of Nations' for the many favors he did for our family (and many others), which earned him de-frocking from the Church and a sentence to Ravensbruck concentration camp. Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Finally, we'd like to visit Hebron, so any suggestions (eg: safe transportation?) would be great.
Looking forward to seeing y'all Nur simchas!

PS: Alain & Gumby: any suggestions about places to stay (& see :-) in Paris & environs?
PPS: Al: Are you still living in Paris? If so, would you like to get together when we're visiting?
Cousin Ron! This sounds amazing! Can I join? Jk
Have a fun and meaningful trip!
All the best, Dina Shallman
