Security Guidelines - January 3

Dear Parents,

As some of you may be aware, the Israeli Defense Forces this evening launched a ground offensive in Gaza. At the present moment, the security stipulations for all of the Israel Experience programs has not changed from the outline which I posted yesterday.
As any and all changes take place, they will be posted at the earliest available possibility on the blog.

I would like to wish everyone a shavua tov, and a happy and healthy week.

Regards,

Leon

Leon ... I spoke with a couple of the workshopers and even though they have received some of this security information, the details are "fuzzy" to them.
2 requests from my part:
1- can the madrichim visit them PERSONALLY and go over the situation and the restrictions with them
2- for a while, it would be a good idea is they are closer supervised by the madrichim and PLEASE explain and train them of what to do if they hear sirens for attacks on the north!
thanks
David and Naomi (Anav's parents)

Dear David & Naomi,
When the program starts again from chofesh tomorrow, both the co-ordinators of the kaveret program, and the madrichim will be with the groups in Akko and Karmiel through the day. They will go through the security situation as it stands tomorrow, and will also show the groups where the nearest bomb shelters are, and explain what to do when an alarm sounds in any of the cities.

Regards,
Leon.

Hi Carol,

I will let Shani know that you are looking for the addresses of the houses, and she will forward them onto you.
