Transportation from Tel Aviv to Zefat: We suggest taking a taxi from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport directly to the hotel in Zefat. The drive should take two hours depending upon traffic and time of arrival (cost approximately $200). The conference secretariat will try to match participants with similar arrival times for shared taxi transportation, and/or arrange a bus ($50 per person) departing from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv conference hotels for Zefat on May 17.

Visas: All visitors to Israel are required to have a valid passport, and for some countries, a visa is required. For more information please contact your nearest embassy, consulate or local travel agency well in advance. It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a visa if required.
