Please review the following information very carefully and then send an e-mail to Maggie at Staff2@arava.org to let her know where you will be getting on the bus on the first day of the semester, Monday February 13, 2023.
TEL AVIV
Those who are starting in Tel Aviv will be meeting at Tel Aviv Center – Savidor Train Station on Arlozorov Street and Namir Boulevard (view the map here). We will be meeting there at 10:00, outside the main entrance of the train station (NOT the bus station which is adjacent), under the big clock.
You will be meeting with Barak (+972-54-578444). Please call him if you are having trouble finding the group, or if you are running late!
JERUSALEM
Those who are coming from Jerusalem will meet outside the Ambassador Hotel on Nablus Road in East Jerusalem (view the map here) at 12:00.
You will be meeting with Ella (+972-52-8966833). Please call her if you are having trouble finding the group, or if you are running late!
Once the bus leaves Jerusalem, it is about a 4 hour ride to Kibbutz Ketura. The bus will make stops along the way so you can stretch your legs, use the bathroom, or have a snack.
You are expected to arrive at Kibbutz Ketura and the Arava Institute around 17:00, and we will be ready and waiting to welcome you to your new home!
