Despite the current difficult security situation/perception in Israel, we were delighted to host and inspire hundreds of Birthright Israel participants over the past month - becoming for many of them, one of the highlights of their trip! With all of Birthright's new security regulations (no Jewish Quarter/Machneh Yehuda/Ben Yehuda), we felt compelled to redeploy to longer hours at the Western Wall and indoor shopping malls throughout Jerusalem in order to meet and interact with their participants. They came a long way, so the least we could do is go a few extra miles to find them.
