Signs you went on the Jewish Center Solidarity Mission to Israel
by Shifra Goldberg & Seth Galena

NEW reader comments

This trip was truly amazing, well organized, and meaningful. We just wanted
to highlight the lighter side:

(unforescene $25 expense to read this list)

- you scanned the XXL T-shirt to see how many people you already dated.

- You recently got laid off from a tech company, and financed the trip with your severance pay.

- El Al security asked you to use someone elses passport to get on the plane.

- The rumors are true: flight attendants can wear shaitels.

- when arriving in Ben Gurion airport, finding your luggage came secondary to programming your cellphone.

- Rabbis provided heter/ loophole so that UWSers can avoid tearing their Banana Republic t-shirts.

- Your parents called numerous times NOT to ask how you are, but to find out
who you've met.

- There is no Inbal.

- You invited the waitress from norman's to the party.

- You know it was a good day when you can unload your breakfast box
hard-bioled egg for two pickles.

- It would be a "dream" if the tour guide would stop talking.

- Tzfat: bottomline, how much does the Shtender cost?

- Bashert: Amuka on Valentines day.

- You didn't goto Amuka, but you gave your friends who did, your name.

- You did goto Amuka, but conveniently forgot to mention your friend's name.

- "It's not a big deal to be the mayor of Katzrim," - Mayors wife.

- You really know the difference between Gamla, Yarden, and Golan.

- Look, sniff, swish, and spit.

- Six bottles, 1 corkscrew and 40 minutes at the back of the bus. Need we
say
more?

- Decks: raise your baby chicken and stand for the Polish national anthem.

- Old City: Amish man with no mustache, holds lemon and explains temple
times... and who was that girl lurking throughout the video?

- Ohel Nechama = OZ with more stairs.
Chovevi = JC with (faster) davening
Gan Hapamon = Central Park with Eruv
Laromme Lobby = Westmont Lobby
Emek Refaim = Columbus Ave.
Mercaz Shiumshon = Fez

- Stomach muscles still hurt from dead sea, as do the nightmares of the
jacouzi people.

- Prices at NY's Darna now seem reasonable.

- Sharei Tzedek: 1st meal we didn't have to pay for (toys for food)

- Closing Dinner: 2nd meal we didn't have to pay for (thank you gifts for
food).

- Your bag and coat were left somewhere on mystery bus #3

- You know who the Shifrettes are.

- At some point you went on a Moshe Bellows mini trip.

- you went on a 2AM baguette run.

- You traveled everywhere with your trusty Inbal pen and your ITC fanny pack.

- You know what Camp Extreme is all about.

- Can you name all the Rabbi's on this Trip?

- You were on a bus that left without Bandler.

- a Cellphone was required to go off during every speech. (what ever
happened
to Vibrate?)

- You dated rabbi Josh.
