Security on Missions

Please Read This Entire Page for Important Information

At the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, we're dedicated to giving you an Israel experience that is exciting, meaningful and memorable with an optimum degree of comfort and security. To that end and in accordance with The Jewish Federations of North America, the following Security Procedures are in effect:

All missions are registered with "Minhelet Hatiyulim," the Touring Authority, which provides current on-line information about security matters and has a 24/7 situation room connected to all Israeli security and emergency services.

Itineraries are reviewed before each mission's arrival and operational security plans are tailored accordingly. The basis of the plan is the presence of a professionally trained security agent on each bus.

Missions may be redirected, if necessary, at any given moment according to information received from the authorities.

Buses are checked each morning before boarding and are rechecked throughout the day.

Rest assured. Your peace of mind is paramount in our minds. We want you to relax and enjoy your time in Israel, concerning yourself only with how much fun you're having and thinking about your next visit with us.
