Missing all the USY IP groups of summer 2011!

So who wants to come on Pilgrimage next summer and who IS coming?

The first question that left me speechless (but only for a second):

Group 4, having landed safely in Warsaw , began their exploration of Poland today with an excited staff and the wise guiding of Jules Gutin!

Group 4 had an invigorating learning session today at Yeshivat Hokhmei Lublin and viewed the atrocities of Majdanek and Sobibor #neveragain

After spending a trying day at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Group 4 is in Krakow, where they look forward to celebrating a meaningful Shabbat.

#gr4 arrived in Israel this morning, settled into Agron and now shopping at super-sol!

Groups 2 and 5 are one their, respective, way to Israel and Poland! Nesiyah Tovah, guys! Have an amazing summer.

Group 2 arrived in Israel after a peaceful flight and began their explorations of Beit Nativ and Jerusalem!

Groups are settling in for Shabbat in Krakow, Prague, Hannaton, and Jerusalem, ready to relax, sing, daven, and learn together!

Group 5 had a wonderful opportunity to visit Lodz today. Not a place all groups get to visit but quite important nonetheless.

Group 4 fought off the hot Eilat sun today by going snorkeling and seeing the coral reefs and beautiful marine life in the water.

Groups 1 and 5 got to go to the Shuk today to get snacks for Shabbat. Is anyone else jealous besides me?

Group 8 arrived in Israel, great to finally have all of our pilgrimage groups in ISRAEL!

All the groups busy prepping for Ha'event tomorrow! Will any group top the epic performance of 2009 Champions-Group 7???

Group 5-Poland/Israel 2nd departure has won Ha'event! They follow in a long line of illustrious Ha'event Champions.

All groups are away for free weekend but are already counting down the minutes until they're reunited on Sunday! Shabbat Shalom!

Group 4 is back but we still have plenty of group holding down the fort in Israel today at places like Tel Aviv, Tzfat, and Sde Boker!
