Another Perspective on Day 1 in Israel

By Will Rothstein

As we arrive at the Philadelphia airport a wave of faces emerge. Along with many new faces comes a new adventure. Some of us have yet to travel to Israel, and with the adventure comes a certain amount of excitement and curiosity.

Security checkpoints and delays brought skepticism and nervousness to those with short travel resumes. Others are aware of the uncertainty of traveling to a distant land. A ten-hour flight and it was official, we had landed in Tel Aviv.

Our adventure had begun! A bus driver and our Israeli escorts greeted us at the airport in Tel Aviv. This trip not only permits us to visit the many beautiful sights in Israel, but we have the opportunity to bond with an eclectic group of professionals, students and Israelis. I look forward to this bonding experience as much as the physical landmarks. There is much more to come, stay tuned!
