VISITING THE WESTERN GALILEEMaking the Most of Your VisitRecommendations for your communities, take advantage of the resource guide at: www.westerngalilee.org.il

The PARTNERSHIP 2GETHER staff has experience hosting delegations. Please consider the following recommendations when planning your next trip:

PREPARING FOR THE VISIT Before the trip brief your delegation members about the Jewish Federation,

JFNA and its connection to JAFI and the PARTNERSHIP 2GETHER (see details on page 16).

Emphasize the uniqueness of:1. Enjoying the beauty of the Western Galilee2. Having people-to-people (personal) connections with residents of the Western

Galilee3. Seeing Federation dollars at work in the Partnership with Israel programs

Provide information to the Partnership with Israel staff about your delegation; 1. LOGISTICS: Dates of visit, number of participants, agenda for the visit, special

requests for itinerary, and any special needs to consider (allergies, wheelchairs, etc). On page 4 you will find the Request form which you will have to fill in and send to the Israeli staff.

2. PARTICIPANT BIOs: a brief description of each participant is requested to assist the Israeli staff in matching up home hospitality and special visits based on the participant’s background & interests.On page 4 you will find the Guest chart which you will have to fill in and send to the Israeli staff.

Home hospitality has become a highlight of visiting the region. The visitors will experience a real Israeli home — nothing can compare in gaining long-lasting connections.

Take into account additional budget for inviting Israelis to join you for meals during your visit. Having Israelis join your group creates the opportunity for informal discussions, a deeper understanding of PARTNERSHIP2GETHER, and grows friendships.

2

Don’t overload the day with too many programs — let the participants have at least an hour break before the evening program.

3

WHILE VISITING THE WESTERN GALILEE: Your participants will get a briefing about PARTNERSHIP2GETHER and about each program you will be visiting. It is important for the leaders of the group to remain involved throughout the visit and contribute their personal experiences and stories (especially if they have visited the region before and participated in Partnership programs). It is recommended to include an evaluation and closing meeting at the end of the trip to share experiences and thoughts about the visit.

BACK HOME:Follow-up is important!

Have a "Get together and share" meeting when back in your community. Encourage people to get involved in Federation and Partnership activities! The

PARTNERSHIP2GETHER staff will be thrilled to connect them to ongoing and new programs.

Encourage your participants to stay in touch with the Israelis they met by sending a thank you letter, greeting cards for holidays, sending photos from the visit, communicating via Facebook/Twitter/Skype, etc.

Encourage your participants to share their experience on our digital album at______________

Give the Israeli staff feedback. Let us know the successes of your trip and the areas that require improvement.

Please send ideas and comments for upgrading the missions.

HOSTING A WESTERN GALILEE DELEGATION IN MY COMMUNITYCheck list for the FEDERATION staff when setting up an ISRAELI partnership delegation visit TO the U.S.

CHOOSE YOUR PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND SET UP EXPECTATIONS:1. Check the "Calendar of opportunities" at the Partnership website:

www.westerngalilee.org.il and choose an ‘Opportunity’ (delegation visit/performance/program)

2. Notify the Israeli staff of your choice.3. The Israeli staff will contact you for a one-on-one/group phone conversation to define goals

and expectations. 4. Israeli staff initiates a conference call with all communities that are taking a specific

‘opportunity’; brainstorming what to do with the delegation, avoid duplicating activities (don’t all take them ice-skating…)

CONSIDER the following:1. Set up the itinerary. 2. Technicalities and logistics – transportation, where and when to eat, include free time, etc.3. Figure out how to expose the visiting Israelis to the broader community4. Identify and prepare host families - Either bring them together for a meeting and explain

about Partnership, the delegation and their goals, go over the itinerary, etc. OR send them a letter that details it all. See samples on page 9-11. If you have a meeting you can show them the 9 minute Partnership DVD and the Partnership Powerpoint, both on the P2K Marketing flashdrive.

5. Find a local 'point person' whose responsibility it is to be in contact with the Israeli chaperone during the visit to your community. The Israeli chaperone will know who to turn regarding problems, thus ensuring that everything runs as smoothly as possible both for the hosting community and the Israeli delegation.

6. Be creative in exposing the guests to as many people in the community as possible, for example – meeting with your youth groups, Women’s group, Overseas committee, Business network, etc.

7. Set up a meeting with the Federation staff and board members. This helps the Israelis better understand the Jewish community and exposes the local leaders to the Partnership.

8. Set up meetings with relevant people for exploring future joint activities.9. Set up a visit to the synagogues – it’s a new world to many Israelis and here they can also

represent the Partnership to the congregations.10.Try to set up an evening with all of the guests and hosts for an evening activity, especially

advisable for the last evening.11.Give the host families time to get to know their guest (don’t overload the itinerary).

10

12. Don't forget to add some touring, sight seeing and free time in the itinerary. Please give shopping time in the schedule.

13.Encourage lay people to join the Israelis for the touring, meetings and group activities.

11

MARKETING:Set up your PR campaign: advertising, invitations, press releases, email blasts, Facebook, Twitter, posters around town, etc.

'FACE TO FACE' OR WRITTEN SURVEYS AND EVALUATIONS:1. Summary meeting - towards the end of the visit try to have a summary with the whole

group or part of it (hosts and visitors) – discuss how the experience was, how can we improve, etc.

2. Do Evaluations, both for the Federation/JCC staff and for the visiting Israelis. (Samples on page 14-23)Afterwards an evaluation conference call will be initiated by the Israeli staff.

3. If you are hosting a performance – Consider preparing a survey for the audience to fill out (put on each chair with a pen.) The survey should include asking for contact information like email and phone. As an incentive to fill it out, you can do a raffle for an Israeli prize. (Sample on page 19)

PREPARING HOSTING FAMILIES, INTRODUCTION LETTERPREPARING HOST FAMILIES IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. TO HOST IS NOT TO JUST GIVE YOUR KEY TO A STRANGER WHO WILL BE LIVING IN YOUR HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU TO SET UP A MEETING WITH THE HOST FAMILIES TO GO THROUGH EXPECTATIONS AND THE GROUP ITINERARY. BELOW IS A SAMPLE LETTER THAT YOU CAN USE.Dear Host Family,We want to express our sincere thanks for agreeing to be a host family for delegation member(s) from our Partnership with Israel region in the Western Galilee.

Your willingness to open your home and share your life with our guests is instrumental in making the visit a success.As you no doubt already know, our community is one of 15 communities in the Partnership Central Consortium Area, “partnering” with the Western Galilee region in northern Israel. The area includes the city of Akko and the rural communities of the Matte Asher Regional Council along the Mediterranean Sea. Partnership offers many opportunities for people on both sides of the ocean to work together in the fields of medicine, arts, education, co-existence, leadership development, culture, business development, economics and tourism. Partnership has been extraordinary for our community and we are delighted to have you involved at such a personal level.In preparation for your visitor(s), the enclosed documents will provide you with an overview of Israel Partnership, an outline of the delegation visit including daily schedule and logistics details. Also provided is some background information about your visitor(s). [if visit includes a community event]The delegation will be featured at our community event on date, time, location, event details. We sincerely hope you and your family will attend. A staff member will contact you prior to the delegation arrival to review the visit details.You are encouraged to call – insert staff person name, office phone and cell phone – with any questions before or during the visit.

Thank you again for welcoming our visitors. We look forward to talking to you soon.

Sincerely,(Staff member’s name) ATTACH TO THE LETTER: partnership flyers, map and brochure, if appropriate the additional orientation letter (page 10-11) the group itinerary, flyer of their performance.

ADDITIONAL PAGE FOR HOST FAMILIES

We are all the same, just with a few cultural differences. To help make the hosting experience as successful as possible, here are some points to keep in mind:

BEHAVIOR The Israeli culture is built on very direct communication and people saying what is on their mind in order to prevent misunderstanding. We may find it slightly impolite but please don't take this personally and just be aware that this is normal in Israeli culture. Israelis express themselves honestly and expect you to tell them what you think about their behavior. If there is an issue, please tell them directly, do not try to smooth things over and therefore not give true feedback.

Israelis, like Americans, need privacy, but everyone defines privacy differently. An American might tell you all about his family and private life, while an Israeli might find it difficult to tell you about his parents’ divorce. On the other hand your Israeli guest will have no problem telling you how much he paid for his new pair of “Nike” and will ask you how much you paid for yours. We may find it an intrusion into our privacy, but please remember that is not their intension.

MEALSIn Israel the main meal of the day is lunch, in which they eat a hearty meal usually including meat or chicken. Your Israeli guest will not find it hard to have his main meal at dinner as long as he has a sense when meals are served. Please make sure to offer him breakfast, dinner and a later night snack and ask if he needs a sandwich and fruit for the day. Please encourage your guest not to be shy.

KOSHER FOODMost Israelis eat Kosher ’style’, meaning not eating pork or shellfish and not mixing dairy and meat in the same meal. No special kitchen utensils are required. If your guest is keeping strictly Kosher, we will let you know.

EATING OUT:In Israel “eating-out” is not such a common experience, especially by teenagers. Your guests might feel uncomfortable being invited to a restaurant and may want to pay for their own meals. For teens this could cut deeply into their limited financial resources. Therefore we suggest either limit dining out or please make it clear to your visitors that you are inviting them.

SHOWERS: Israelis usually take showers before going to bed at night; they might want to take a shower in the morning as well.

TELEPHONE CALLSYour guest will have a pre paid phone card. Please let them know that it is fine that they use your phone, when using the pre paid phone card.

RELIGIOUS MATTERSMost Israelis are secular; in fact many of them go to synagogue only on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. However they will go to synagogue with you if it’s a custom in your house. This is an important, new, educating and refreshing experience for them.

LANGUAGE

14

Although the English of your guests is quite good, keep in mind that this is their second language and they may NOT always understand everything or may have difficulty expressing themselves. Please be patient.

A FEW MORE THINGS: It is important that to give your guest a tour of your house and explain how to use the

shower, washing machine, TV or anything you think they need to know. Please allow your guests time on the computer so they can communicate with their family

back home. Cultural differences do exist. When an uncomfortable situation occurs please first try to

determine if the “problem” is a result of a cultural misunderstanding as opposed to an impoliteness or affront.

The most important element here is the willingness of both sides to get to know each other and make this experience a good one.

FOR COMMUNITIES HOSTING YOUNG ISRAELI CAMP COUNSELORS (Kefiada)Orientation for JCC Staff and volunteers

We are all the same, just with a few cultural differences. To help make this experience as successful as possible, here are some points to keep in mind when preparing JCC staff to work together with Israeli co-counselors:

Dear JCC staff and volunteers,

You are about to work together with Israeli young counselors for a week in the JCC summer camp. To make this experience a positive one here are some of the lessons we have learned from past experience:

There needs to be a contact person in camp who is "on hand" throughout the day to ensure that the camp is getting the most from the Israeli counselors and that the Israelis have what they need to be able to give their most. This person needs to be a troubleshooter for the Israeli counselors and be approachable at all times.

An orientation for the Israeli counselors is a must. The Israelis have to meet their peers and the camp staff prior to their first day in camp. Expectations on both sides should be discussed to prevent any misunderstandings.

A daily summary meeting with both Israeli and American counselors at the end of the day can help in problem solving and in preparation for the next day.

The Israeli staff must be notified of all decisions involving the counselors. This is important to prevent misunderstandings regarding after camp activities.

The Israeli culture is built on very direct communication and people saying what is on their mind in order to prevent misunderstanding. We may find it slightly impolite but please don't take this personally and just be aware that this is normal in Israeli culture. Israelis express themselves honestly and expect you to tell them what you think about their behavior. If there is an issue, please tell them directly, do not try to smooth things over and therefore not give true feedback.

We suggest that the counselors be housed two per family. It would be ideal if the hosts are families with teenagers. This would solve part of the problem of providing “social activities” as these activities would then be “built in”.

We suggest that the American counselors have an orientation session to prepare them for meeting with the Israeli counselors. The session can include the meaning of cultural differences, communicating with people of other cultures, mutual respect, dealing with conflicts, etc.

You will receive bios and pictures of the Israeli counselors. It is recommended to set up a conference call(s) prior to their visit.
