We arrive at the airport in a 15p van, from Crown Height to Newark, Excitement is in the air
with a mix of the unknown and familiar landscape. We get our name tags at the counter and meet the rest of our group - 39 boys in total.I will only hear about this later. After the tags we take our luggage and check on to El Al. I go thru check in, but first there is an interrogation to pass by the agent or security officer named Ronit. Speaking at 100 miles an hour she asks my purpose in coming to Israel, nationality, parents nationality and other random stuff. After the routine check she directed me to the counter to pick up my boarding pass with everyone else and head to security. I do so, even though it takes an hour thru the long line.
Finally I get thru and meet the rest of the group.Its exciting with out name tags, makes me feel all official.
We daven mincha and meet other Birthright groups in the lounge. It is fun but we still need to board the plane.
OU FreeSpirit Taglit 162 is on a roll.
