Of course it is a worry when your child goes away from home. More of a worry when they go to a country like Israel with the news that was announced today. However, I have put my trust in Israel Experience to look after one of my most precious possesions (my 2nd born) and I must trust them to look after her and keep her safe.
We have received a message from the The Jewish Agency Shaliach for Hanoar Hatzioni saying:
They are all OK and had a long day in Jerusalem. They went to sleep few minutes ago in Rabin Youth Hostel in Jerusalem.
The situation in the North: The Security Department of the Jewish Agency is continuing to monitor the situation in all parts of Israel. They are maintaining their instruction that, as a precaution, programmes for any groups who are due to be in or around affected areas must be modified.
Precautionary modifications have now been made in a way that maintains the educational integrity of the tours and the group dynamic.
The Security Department of the Jewish Agency is continually providing us with regular updates, enabling programmes to continue as normal with appropriate modifications being made if necessary.
They have had a busy day looking around Jerusalem and are all now asleep.
I have been able to send her a message through the webpage and feel relieved in that.
