ADAPTING
TO KIBBUTZ LIFE
The
demanding work ethic and tight camaraderie of the small rural environment can
sometimes make it difficult for the newcomer. However, if you are open to new
experiences and flexible to a different reality you will be pleasantly
surprised at the warm relationships you can develop and how much you can enjoy

It is important to keep in mind that kibbutz ulpan participants, despite
having paid a participatory fee, are still guests on the kibbutz. We therefore
ask you to be sensitive to the kibbutz rules and norms.
5)
INSURANCE
Limited Property Insurance is included in Ulpan tuition.
The kibbutz is not responsible for any lost or stolen items and will not refund
you for any of the above. We suggest you leave all valuables in the Ulpan safe
or avoid bringing them with you.
We insure each participant with medical insurance while
the participant is on the program. Once the program is over or if you choose to
leave early, you will no longer be covered. The insurance is included in the
program fee. We will not refund for medical conditions beyond the insurance
coverage. In this case, you will have to independently cover any additional
costs.
Please note: We
highly recommended you take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance for
the period before and after the program.
6)
FLIGHTS
AND TRANSPORTATION
You must buy your own flight ticket. Transportation is not provided
from the Airport to the kibbutz, so you must make your own arrangements. We
suggest you take the train from the airport to the central bus station in
Tel-Aviv, and then a bus to the kibbutz. (numbers 921, 823, 841 until 10p.m.)
