Packing Instructions

Linen does not need to be brought as it will be provided in every location. Towels will also be provided, yet girls should also bring along their own as we use many towels throughout the Tour.

Your suitcase cannot exceed the 50 pound limit.

Please have a shirt for tearing kriah available for easy access in your hand luggage and bring with you on the bus.

Girls who will be in Eretz Yisroel before the tour begins should have this to take on the bus as well.

It will not be possible to access the larger luggage stored under the bus during the day at all, therefore anything you will need on that first day should be brought with you straight onto the bus.
