The Columbus Jewish Federation has finalized negotiations with El Al Airlines to
originate in Columbus the
flight which will take over 200
community members on the
Israel '92 Mission to Israel in
September.
"This Mission will truly be
an historical event for the Columbus community," stated
co-chairman for Israel '92,
Robert H. Schottenstein.
"Never before has a Jewish
community of our size sent
such a large delegation to Israel. This will also be the first
time that members of our
community will have the op-
portunity to fly direct to Israel
on an El Al flight embarking
from Port Columbus, which,
by itself, is an event of major
proportion."
Schottenstein also commented that "the benefits
which will accrue to our community from this Mission,
both from a leadership development standpoint and fund-
raising standpoint, are incalculable. I believe I speak for
all of my co-chairpersons in
stating that this is the most ex-
■ citing and rewarding community endeavor with which we
have been Involved."
Although the delegation is
large, the itinerary has been
designed to accommodate
groups of 40 to 45 people, with
buses having their own guide,
or scholar, as well as professional staff. At various times
during the trip, the entire delegation will gather to share
special opportunities such as
meetings with top Israeli officials.
"The fact that El Al has
agreed to originate the flight
in Columbus is tremendous
because it means that we
don't have to wait as long to
get to Israel; when we board
that plane, Israel will have
been brought to us," said Kenneth B. Gold, co-chairman for
Israel '92. "This is going to be
an emotional and important
day for all of us and will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the Columbus
Jewish community for an unbelievable experience which
will start in Columbus."
