| 23rd May 2008 Idan | - From: The big city Hey Itamar- I wrote tribute for the greatest prayer in the world not just you and D.S.... Ilan helped too. I guess you're just jealous that I can perform that song and you can't so you took me off the list of composers!!! |
| 23rd May 2008 Roberta & Dennis | On your way home - From: The big city Just can't wait to see all of you 8th graders and chaperones - especially Ben and Daniel I. This trip was a wonderful gift to all of you from the anonymous benefactor - we are all so grateful for it. Have a safe flight home, get some sleep on the plane (ahem...this means NOT standing in the aisles, changing seats, and otherwise bothering all the other passengers). Anyway, looking forward to seeing all of you in slightly more than 12 hours!! Love, Mom and Dennis |
| 22nd May 2008 caryn melton | actually... - From: On our way Just got word that Sam M. is so sick he's not on the flight. Heartfelt thanks to Adon Katz for staying with Sam and getting him to a doctor, etc. So actually the count is 40 kids and 3 exhausted (but exhilarated) chaperones. |

We've missed you and will be so happy to have you back home. Have a safe trip! |

(not to worry, shopping at the airport could be considered by some a religous experience!) Take full advantage! I'm sure you all have mixed feelings about the final hours of the trip...but as far as we're concerned, it will be nice to have you and Abba home! We love you, enjoy that spiritual feeling, wink wink, you can get only at the airport (!) and fly safley home to us! Love, Emma (debra!) |

We are sad we missed your call. My phone never rang-boo-hoo! We love the blog. Don't you know Skittles are not kosher?! Callif said please get to a store and spend all your money on Lotus cookies and Kindereggs! In your absence, we have become hooked on the show 30 Rock and that (this might not mean anything to you) Freakazoid comes out July 29th. Lastly, he totally just kicked the @*$% out of 2 gym leaders in Pokemon Emerald. Saba said he is bursting, as he has so many kisses to give you! Have fun in your last few hours in Israel and please bring a lot of sunny and WARM weather back to Milwaukee! We can't wait to see you!!! Love, Mama, Poppy and Callif |

| 21st May 2008 Melissa Feldmesser | Hello Everyone - From: Our brothers and sisters Hi Em, Great to hear from you today. It sounds as if you have had another great couple of days. We are so looking forward to seeing you, even Jane. I know shopping has not been a struggle for you, and you thought you would never hear this from me, but spend the rest of the money. No need to bring home the "change." Buy some Israeli chocolate, coffee and maybe some small things like a challah cover. Just remember, the more coffee and chocolate you bring home the greater the chance of you watching Gossip Girls. Jewelry will really boost your chances. hint, hint. Enjoy the rest of your trip and take it all in. I miss you and love you, Mom |
| 21st May 2008 reuben, mom and michel | Who's been sleeping in my bed? - From: Our brothers and sisters Hey Joe, how you doing? Michel says she misses you a little bit, but curiously, she's been sleeping in your bed the past four or five nights. It looks like these Israeli kids created some interseting games to play. That hoola- hoop race looks fun. We hope you and your mates are all well, and we wish you a safe return trip home.We love you. |

We miss you and will see you in 48 hours. Love mom and dad. |

| 21st May 2008 Sue Carneol | Sorry we missed your call Sam:( - From: A look into the future Hi Sam, Sorry we missed all your calls today. But it was really good to hear from you. Don't worry about the camera, but ask someone to take a picture or two with their camera's I still haven't seen you in anything but a large group pic and in the background of a few others. I am so happy you got to see Ronit and Dallit. How are they? Have you seen Noa and Chen yet? You are all so lucky to know so many people in Israel who want to come and visit with you. Treasure these last few days. Regards to everyone. L'hitraot! Love, Mom p.s. how are you feeling? Did the stomach bug skip you? |

| 20th May 2008 David | Gev Wolfson, I miss you - From: Heroes Sounds like you are having a great time. Travel safely |
| 20th May 2008 melissa feldmesser | Thanks for the pics - From: A look into the future Hi Everyone, Adon King, thanks for the latest pics. They are just great! Will you continue the blog and comments through the summer and into next year? Em, thanks for the phone call. You and everyone in the backround sound loud and clear. Ditto everything Mrs. Heffez said. What a great trip you and all the other kids have experienced. I think the teachers should bring us, the parents. We promise to call home, not get sick and will have no need to be taken to the hospital. Should be a breeze for the teachers! Em, considering that I hold the last 2 episodes of the Gossip Girls, ( and they were really good) you really need to step up your gift selection for me. Just a thought. Enjoy the rest of your trip and take it all in. I miss you and love you, Mom |
| 20th May 2008 Russek Family | Jilaboon - From: A look into the future WOW Zoe and friends. It is great that you went to Jilaboon. Did you hike down to the falls? Myra and I went there on our Honeymoon. I am really glad that all of you are having sooooo much fun in Eretz Yisrael. Say Hi and thank you to all your teachers..... Steve, Myra, Natanya & Grandma Dora |
| 20th May 2008 Abba | Idan - From: Heroes Hi Chamud, I am looking at your picture by the tank in Latrun, wondering why you're not smiling. And then I realized - that's because you've got the NAVY in your blood and you're just not happy without the sultry mist in your eyes as the ship speeds through crashing waves in the dark Mediterranean night toward the next secret mission :-) Imma would probably be happier if you just went to UWM or at least the air force where they have air conditioning and good food. She is a Lieutenant, so I gotta go by what she says :-) We love the blog and are so happy to see how much fun you are all having. Enjoy the last few days and don't forget to take pictures of food so I can pretend I am there enjoying the best Humus in the world! Yogev, Maya and Bissly miss you also so much and we are all anxiously awaiting the moment the bus pulls into the MJDS parking lot. |
| 20th May 2008 Benji's Dad-Mark Wichman | TANKS - From: Heroes Hi Benji. So it took a bunch of armored vehicles and tanks to finally get a good look at you! They look pretty cool and you and your friends look great! It sounds like you are having a fabulous trip. We can't wait to hear all of your stories! Love, Dad |
| 20th May 2008 Cylie McAdams | I miss you jenny!!!!! - From: Heroes JENNY!!!!!! HOWS ISRAEL!!!!!! i can't believe my mom missed your call! I was so upset! But i hear your getting a wonderful tan, ha i'll just have to see that for myself. You look like you were getting very comfortable on that tank, you werent to tired were you? Well i miss you loads, and i can't wait to see you again!!!! LOVE YOU from CYLIE!!!!! |
| 20th May 2008 Natanya Russek | ZOE!!! - From: Heroes Dear Zoe, I miss you! I love seeing these WONDERFUL pictures of you and all of your friends! Anyway, House was SOOOO GOOD this week and last. It was the 2 part season finale and BY FAR my favorite episodes. (just wanted to tell you...) And you are cooler than the other side of the pillow. Love (and see you at SRC!), Natanya |
| 20th May 2008 Laurel's Dad | Where's Waldo? - From: Heroes Laurel, I'm tired of playing Where's Waldo in the group pictures. I'm certain another set of parents feels that way also as we try and figure out which of the two indistinct blurs among those on the tank was our own offsprung. You're a good looking kid (taking after my side of the family and all), elbow your way a little closer to the front - especially if you the last little blur on the photo. --Laurel's Dad |
| 20th May 2008 Savannah | - From: Heroes Caleb, Latrun is where I took that picture of me lying under that tank! haha. I am so glad that you got to see Ayelet and Noam, and give them hugs for me! So, I have a gossip girl update for you. Warning, SPOILER ALERT: dan broke up with serena, and blair and chuck are back together. lily married bart even though her and rufus love each other, and nate left vanessa for serena. OMG! Right? haha love you lots xoxo sis |
| 20th May 2008 Fran and Ron Meyers | Hi Emily Z. and friends - From: Shabbat Just one quick note to let you know we love getting your blogs and photos on the computer! Your trip sounds super!
