Welcome Reception - Sunday, May 25 at 19:00 - details to follow Gala Dinner - Wednesday, May 28 at 19:00 - details to follow TRANSPORTATION FROM AIRPORT TO JERUSALEM: A reasonably priced way to get to Jerusalem from Ben-Gurion Airport is by sherut (shay-root), a van shared by eight-ten passengers with a fixed per-person rate. The current fare is NIS 50 (~€10) per person, baggage included (up to two bags). The sherut stand, run by Nesher Taxi, is as you exit arrivals area of the terminal building. Confirm that the destination of the Nesher van is Jerusalem, give your luggage to the driver, and climb in. The driver must take you from the airport to the hotel or residential address of your choice anywhere in Jerusalem (without extra charge). If you're lucky, you'll be the first in your group to be dropped off at your destination. If not, you'll find yourself on an odyssey through parts of Jerusalem you would never normally see. The cost of a private taxi is approximately NIS 225 (€40). If you happen to have four people in your party (standard taxis take only up to four passengers), the cost for this most convenient option is really little more than that of a sherut. Agree on a definite price ahead of time. If you have a number of heavy bags, the driver will charge extra. There is a dispatcher at the taxi stand and all details can be verified. For the return trip to the airport, please contact your hotel concierge. Reserve transportation the day before your departure. If you want to make your sherut reservation in person, the office of Nesher Taxis and Sheruts (tel. 02/625-7227) is upstairs at 23 Ben-Yehuda St., near King George Street. The company will pick up around the clock, 7 days a week, but if you need transport to the airport on Saturday (the Sabbath) you must make your reservation by Thursday - the Nesher office is closed on the Sabbath.
