TMS Students and Graduates have first priority for making reservations for the trip; however, there should be some limited room for "immediate" family members and "friends of the seminary" to also participate. If you are even considering going on the trip please begin the process of obtaining a US passport. If your passport is scheduled to expire on or before December 2010,ou need to renew your passport for this trip. If you are not traveling on a United States Passport, please check with your consular office for VISA requirements to travel to Israel. Be certain to advise your consular office that this trip is being done in conjunction with your seminary studies.
The itinerary for the trip will be finalized in the next few weeks. For those not living in Southern California, there may be additional travel expenses to make the connecting flights to join our group, again, please contact the office for further information.
FINALLY and MOST IMPORTANT!
Please remember that this is a fairly rigorous field study program. If you are not exercising regularly, you should begin a walking/exercise regimen now!
