IR asked:
We have started thinking about what we may need to do or to acquire between now and then. I wonder if you have any practical information - on medication, clothing etc - which you have gleaned from previous trips, which might be useful for all participants.
I would certainly take along any medications that you regularly need. I would also take a first aid kit to deal with cuts and bruises, coughs and colds, flu and other common ailments. You should certainly take along medicine for diarrhoea relief and upset stomach issues – which are a common occurrence.
I would advise on taking normal everyday clothing. It is warm in the day (mid 20’s) and cool in the evening (around 10) but we will not be going out much in the evening. So an extra layer for the evenings would be good. As far as Shabbat – no formal wear required – nothing we wear is anything like the local clothing anyway.
