In the event of a personal emergency, costs associated with leaving early (flight changes, transportation, etc) are the responsibility of the participant.

NOTE: We can't guarantee that your roommates will share the same level of observance, however, we will do our best to match you accordingly.

Basic health insurance is included in the program fee. You will need to show proof of additional health insurance for pre-existing conditions not covered by the health policy.

Basic health insurance will not cover injuries directly connected to the war, however the State of Israel by law does cover such damages for anyone legally in the country.

NOTE: We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your Israel travel costs.

Yes, all accommodations will have a safe room or a shelter within the building.

During the dates of the trip, volunteers are required to stay in the official program accommodations. If you are in Israel before or after the program begins and ends, you are responsible for your accommodations and can choose to stay with friends or family.

Yes, but keep in mind that you will be responsible for your own accommodations, health insurance, and general welfare once our program has ended.

Contact us ASAP and we will work with you to find a solution. We do recommend flying with EL AL Airlines or Arkia Airlines for maximum reliability during this time.
