Dear Applicants & Future Participants,

At this time, we're just finalizing the last bit of ticketing for our summer trips. This has been an exciting process for us as we have close to 9,000 young adults coming to Israel with us this summer. We still have a small selection of trips available and will be contacting you if they fit within your preferred travel time. Additionally, we are still expecting to receive more flights from Taglit-Birthright Israel. As a reminder, you will not loose your trip deposit if you are not assigned to a trip. In the mean time, be sure to join our Pre-Registration list for winter trips here.

If you've been assigned to a trip already:
If you are looking to extend your stay in Israel, detailed instructions regarding the flight extension process can be found online here. Please note that Oranim does not have any control or influence over the extension process. All requests for extensions should be handled according to the process outlined here as they pertain to your airline.

Are you thinking to extend your stay in Israel? Are you looking for something rewarding to do? How about volunteering or an internship - in Israel? Check out all that Oranim has to offer at www.DestinationIsrael.com.

Please stop sending emails day after day. Many of you are sending multiple emails to multiple people in our office. We're receiving nearly 20,000 emails a day sometimes. In order for us to be able to respond to those, we are asking that you only send one email to one person and wait for a response. We will respond!

Shalom from Israel,

Shlomo MOMO Lifshitz
