Dan Penias:
Sitting in the airport my leg couldn’t stop shaking from the excitement that awaited me for the next 10 days. Just the thoughts of hiking up Massada, floating in the Dead Sea, and standing in front of the Kotel made me so excited to go back to Israel and experience Israel with friends instead of family. This trip is going to be amazing, and I can’t wait to land at Ben Gurion airport.
Lindsay Zallis:
Ever since I had received the email saying I was accepted on Birthright, I had been counting down the days for this trip to begin. As soon as I arrived at JFK and was greeted by a line of other Birthright kids I knew that this trip was going to be the best trip ever. I was a little nervous about the long flight because the longest trip I ever took by flight was 2 hours and the longest car ride I had been in was 6 hours. On the El Al flight time flew by quickly with all the great movies, food, and new friends I met. When we arrive in Israel the things I am most excited to do are to visit the Western Wall, tour Yad Vashem, and float in the Dead Sea. Most of all I am excited to meet new friends.
