Journey to Poland begins

After a bus ride that began for some of us in Akko at 1am, Eden had a smooth, though long, check in process at Ben Gurion Airport this morning. They arrived in Warsaw and began another long bus ride to Krakow where they will begin their learning in Poland at the Galicia Jewish Museum any minute now. Everyone left in good spirits, feeling both nervous and excited for the week ahead of them. 

They will spend tonight and tomorrow night at Krakow Fero Express Hotel (+48 12 376 70 80)
