If you’re unsure, we’re happy to advise prior to departure.
PREPARING FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE
This is more than a trip—it is an immersive experience.
Participants who choose to prepare often find the journey even more meaningful. A short reading list is available should you wish to engage more deeply in advance.
Physically, light walking in the weeks leading up to departure and consistent hydration will ensure you feel your best throughout. We also recommend minimizing caffeine prior to travel to ease the transition and reduce jet lag.
CURRENCY & FINANCIAL EASE
Your experience is designed to feel seamless—including how you handle personal purchases.
Credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are readily available should you wish to access local currency.
We recommend carrying:
-
A primary credit card
-
A backup card or debit card
-
A small reserve of U.S. currency
It is helpful to notify your bank of your travel dates to ensure uninterrupted use.

We encourage a refined, minimal approach to packing.
Think comfortable, casual, and effortless:
-
Comfortable walking shoes
-
Lightweight layers
-
Modest attire for sacred sites
-
A jacket for evenings
-
Swimsuits & water shoes
A small day bag or backpack is ideal for daily essentials.

If applicable, please bring prescriptions in original packaging within your carry-on. Supporting documentation is recommended for ease while traveling.
HYDRATION
We cannot emphasize this enough—hydration is key to enjoying every moment of your journey comfortably. We’ll support this throughout, especially during travel days.
TIME ZONE ADJUSTMENT
Israel is 8 hours ahead of Central Time.
Many guests find that adjusting sleep slightly before departure enhances comfort upon arrival.
This journey has been designed with intention, care, and a commitment to excellence at every level.
Our role is to anticipate your needs before they arise—so that you are free to experience, reflect, and fully engage with each moment.
Should anything arise before or during your travels, you will have direct access to our team at all times.
We look forward to welcoming you to Israel!
