Dear Destination Israel Participants,
As promised, I will stay in touch with you frequently prior to our trip together in March, providing you with any new or relevant information that may be helpful to you. I understand and share the concern that many of you are feeling with regard to the present situation in Gaza and its implications for travel to Israel. At this time the conflict is limited to a small geographic area 26 miles of the border of Gaza. This area of Israel is currently not on our planned itinerary and will not be added even when the hostilities cease.
In the coming days our office will be monitoring the overall security situation through our partners at the Jewish Agency for Israel. The Federation, of course, would not allow any departure of any group to Israel unless we felt that we could provide our extraordinarily high standard for safety and security. Please feel free to call me at anytime to allay any further concerns.
I hope you will join me in keeping Israel and its citizens in your thoughts and prayers. We can only hope that they soon finish the task at hand with wisdom and strength.
Shalom,
Scott Brockman
