Additional Notes:
Please try to bring clothing made of Dri-Fit, cotton, or inexpensive t-shirts.
It is always a good idea to bring an extra shirt, socks and underwear in your carry-on just in case.
We will be doing laundry 3 times during the trip so make sure to have enough clothes for 2 weeks.
Shabbat wear in Israel is very similar to what people would wear to summer camp and many people
wear white tops for Shabbat. (Women – nice top/sweater, long skirt and sandals. Men – button
down shirt/nice golf shirt, khaki pants/nice shorts, sandals)
Try to bring items you would not mind leaving behind for a donation to charity. Your suitcase may
fill up with your purchases, so you will need the extra room.
Toiletries such as soap and toothpaste can be purchased in Israel; however, the cost is much higher
than in the United States. Remember that the electrical current in Poland AND Israel is 220 volts
DC (The US is 110 volts AC). Be sure to have an electrical adapter.
TANK TOPS CANNOT BE WORN DURING THE DAY!!! Only nighttime when the sun is
down and where it is appropriate.
