Travel Insurance
All participants on the Paris and Israel mission are covered for medical insurance while in Israel through The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). There is no trip cancellation insurance covered by JFNA/GMJF.

Note: JFNA/GMJF highly recommends that all mission participants review their own personal insurance coverage needs with their insurance advisors to determine if additional travel insurance is required. This would cover items such as reimbursement for trip delay, missed connections, sickness and/or accident medical expenses, lost baggage, personal effects, baggage delay, etc.
