This company will set you up with a SIM card (they will send it to your home in America so that you have it when you leave/and arrive here). You'll need to bring your phone to an AT&T/VERIZON/or whatever your branch to have them make sure it is UNLOCKED and will be able to be used with a SIM card abroad.
Then, after you get on the plane and turn off your phone, you can switch the SIM card and put your Amer. card in a safe place for when you return. This way, you can also have telephone access and be able to be in touch AND USE GPS APPS LIKE GOOGLE MAPS OR WAZE while you are here. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ilan's Bar Mitzvah- the Party
Thursday, Jul 14, 2016, 07:30 PM
Nahal Bezek 3/2 , Modiin
Overnight up North being planned.... Tues/Wed July 12/13
We reserved a group of rooms for an overnight stay on Tuesday night, July 12th at Kibbutz Gadot guest house – see more information and details here: http://en.gadot-lodging.co.il/. The cost is 420 shekels per room per night for 2 people (approx. $105) with breakfast, which is very reasonable for the summer in Israel.
They are holding the rooms for us at the moment but we promised to give them an accurate count as soon as possible. There is also an option to reserve a second night on Wednesday night July 13th, which is highly recommended as it would give you more time to enjoy the area (no worries…the Bar-Mitzvah party on the 14th will only start around 7:30pm).
So, please send an email and let us know if you are interested in going and for how many nights.
Contact Coby at centeen@gmail.com if you would like to join.

WHAT TO WEAR WHILE IN ISRAEL???
Fri. night dinners at the Enteens......whether it's in Modiin at Coby/Susie's or in Mevasseret at Norm/Judy's, CASUAL is key. Be comfortable, feel free to 'dress it up' a bit, but nothing fancy fancy.
Sunday tour and breakfast in Jerusalem: Men/boys can feel free to wear nice shorts and short sleeved shirts. Please bring a kippa or a hat, or you can get one of the paper ones at the Kotel itself. Women/girls: skirts are not a MUST, but I wouldn't plan on shorts. If you're more comfortable in pants, this is fine too. But it's best to think 'modest dress' here......no tank tops of course.
Monday service and brunch in Mevasseret: casual but nice. Kind of like the Fri night dinners, but remember we will be in a synagogue. (a reform synagogue in Israel feels more like a conservative one in the US). But pants are ok for women.
Tues/Wed. up north: shorts/t-shirts, bring bathing suit, light jacket for evening a possibility. Sunscreen/hats and water a must!
Thursday party at Coby/Susie's in Modiin: Casual Sheik.......comfortable but nice . Sundress or pants or whatever..........the party is outside, hopefully we won't have a heat wave that night, and it will be just average hot and not boiling. Come as you wish.......
