G.     Participation With Your Friends

Broadening your friendships to extend to youth from various cities in the US and Canada is one of the many advantages of your Oranim summer experience in Israel and Overseas.  Ask past participants and they nearly always encourage you to avoid grouping together with large numbers of old friends.  This will allow you to make new friends from all over North America. 

When Oranim develops its summer programs, there is a limit to the number of participants from one city.  For those who would like to request to travel with a friend or two, please indicate below.  Only two may request each other from one city.  Within our guidelines we try to honor these requests.

 

Guidelines:

  1. Both participants MUST indicate that they want to travel with each other.

  2. Both participants MUST select the same program.  The choice of the program will take priority in placing the participant.

  3. When the number of participants from one city exceeds the Oranim limitation, some alternative will be necessary.

  4. Groups will be formed prior to departure and all participants will be advised of their assigned group at that time. Groups will not exceed 40 participants. Due to the specialized nature of some groups, the number of participants may be limited to less than 40 participants.

  5. Every effort to honor your request will be made, though not guaranteed.

  6. Requests MUST be submitted by May 1, 2008.

 

I would like to travel with (limit two):

1.______________________________     from __________________________(city)

            2.______________________________     from __________________________(city)
