I’m sure the ISM has an infiltration program right up Jill’s alley.

Oh Jill. It’s not all about beach parties. But it is indeed about your Jewish heritage. The educational aspects of the trip attempt to at least inspire you to learn more about that heritage – there’s only so much education you can cram into people in 10 days. And its not particularly political either – any of our staff will gladly explain the history of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and try to give you both sides of the story. Not only that but I have a couple of peace activist friends who I am sure I can persuade to come for shabbat lunch and talk to the group. That having been said, try there was a service oriented trip for this winter but the deadline to apply has passed. Get in touch with us using the contact us page and we’ll be happy to discuss this further and point you in the direction of a program you might find more appropriate.

Hmmm… Rediscovering our cultural heritage, or partying it up like a beach trip to Miami? Let me know if there are service-related trips available, or if we are able to meet with Rabbis for Human Rights or Peace Now to learn about their work in the occupied territores, and I’ll consider it! Thanks. -j

T.A. You’ll probably need to provide a letter from the Rabbi who will convert you. Apply now, work out the details later.

Jewish Jordanians sure can. And if you’re not Jewish Rami, what i can offer you is a few free beers if yoou come and visit us in Jerusalem. Or a starbucks coffee next time I’m in Aman. Deal?
