They've arrived safely!

The Hillel in Philadelphia students arrived safely in Israel this morning (1pm Israel time). The flight was uneventful - although apparently Charles Bronson was in First Class. One student is on a later flight after confusing the day of the trip's departure. They are expected to all meet up by this evening.
When I spoke to them the bus is on its way to Jerusalem, the ancient and modern capital of Israel.
Upon arrival they will have a "shechayanu" cermony at Haas Promenade. This ceremony, named after the Jewish prayer, will welcome the participants to Israel.

They are on their way!!!
