Enrollment Forms
In addition to the online application and the fully-refundable deposit the following forms are required to be considered for the Taglit-birthright israel: SEC- Sephardic Tour. Please print, complete and submit them immediately after applying.
Participant Waiver Form - Health History Form - Passport Form - Deposit Form
Interview
Every applicant must have a phone interview before being confirmed for a trip. Interviews can be conducted by calling our office at 310-441-9361 during the specified interview times that you will be emailed.
Passports and Travel Documents
Passports and travel documents should be ordered or renewed immediately after applying (passports must be valid for a minimum of 6 months after departure).
Spending Money
We suggest bringing approximately $200 to $300 USD in cash. If you do not have a credit card, you may want to bring a little more. Almost all stores in Israel accept credit cards. Do not rely on ATM machines as they can be difficult to find. Travelers Checks are also difficult to cash so we do not recommend bringing them.
Gratuity
Please bring $65 USD, in addition to your spending money, which will be used as gratuity for your amazing Israeli staff.
Currency Exchange Rates
The currency in Israel is Shekel or New Israel Shekel (NIS).
