Follow Your Passions on Miami Mega Mission Israel 2012

Whether it is a love of art, nature, fashion, food or technology – or any of several other subjects – participants on Miami Mega Mission Israel 2012 will have the opportunity to explore their personal interests from a uniquely Israeli perspective during the mission’s “Options Day,” Friday, April 27.

The once-in-a-lifetime Mega Mission journey, which will enable 800 members of Miami’s Jewish community to experience Israel together, leaves Miami on April 22, 2012 and returns on May 1. During each day of the Mega Mission, participants will explore Israel on an air-conditioned bus with friends, neighbors and an expert guide. On Options Day, however, participants will board a new bus based on their particular interests and travel on special tracks with others who share the same passions.

Available for Options Day are tracks for First-Timers; Arts & Culture; Art & Artists; Explore Tel Aviv; Fashion & Shopping; Food & Wine; Nature-Lovers/Ecology/Conservation; Start-Up Nation/High-Tech; Archaeology & History; Extreme Adventure; Medical; Volunteerism; Legal; Hebron and Gush Etzion; Mind, Body and Spirit; and Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea. (Spa services during any relevant tracks are available at an additional cost.)

Because the tracks for Options Day are available on a first-come, first-served basis, participants are urged to register early and make their choices as soon as possible.

In addition to Options Day, the Mega Mission will include a commemoration of Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day); a celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day); and visits to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the Negev and Northern Israel. Five spectacular Mega Events will provide outstanding entertainment and many surprises.

The Mega Mission costs $3,600 per person (double occupancy, space limited) including non-stop, round-trip charter flight; $2,500 per person (double occupancy, land only) and $1,800 for individuals ages 22-39 (double occupancy, land only). Charter packages are subject to a $300 fuel surcharge per person. Itinerary is subject to change.
