Prepare for #PBR1127

Now that final exams are in, there's just one thing on my mind...
PENN BIRTHRIGHT BUS 1127!

The blog has gone through a major overhaul, and you can be sure that we'll be updating you as we go along, with reflections and stories by our lovely participants.

In the meantime, to the blessed backpackers of Birthright bus 1127, start packing, review those key Hebrew phrases, and sleep sleep sleep.

Also, there will be a lot of social media surrounding this trip, so the keyword is #PBR1127. Use it on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram, etc. 

Finally, if you have thoughts, ideas, meditations or other words you'd like to share as we prepare for this journey, please pass them this way. The packing list can only prepare us physically. There is a lot more at stake in this journey.

Looking eagerly ahead to New Year's Eve! See you safely at the airport in just over a week!

With love (ahava)
