Well, I don't know about you but I am still buzzing from Fall Kinnus! It definitely seemed as though everyone had a great time. The Israel program included a discussion on Sloach songs relating to Israel, and in the end groups were given the chance to write their own Sloach songs. Here were some of the favorites...click here
At Fall Kinnus, we also had an Israel themed dinner. We all enjoyed delicious falafel and sat at tables representing the different USY summer trips. Many of you expressed interest in going on a pilgrimage or other USY summer trip. For more information about any of the pilgramages, Etgar, Summer in the City, Wheels or Wheels: Mission Mitzvah, here is the online info:

Be sure to check out the great list of reasons to go to Israel and ways to convince any parents who need convincing :)
Also, you can ALWAYS call or email me with more questions or names of people who did the trips and can tell you even more about them. I am SO excited to see so much interest in these trips! And remember- money should never be a reason not to go! I am here to do whatever I can to get you to Israel next summer!
