As of the most recent update of this website (7/29/09), the United States Department of State (USDS) has a current Travel Warning for Israel, which advises U.S. citizens to carefully weigh the necessity of travel to Israel, as well as a Worldwide Caution.
Nonetheless, numerous U.S. citizens are electing to travel to Israel. Each participant should carefully assess the State Department advisory and caution prior to enrollment at http://travel.state.gov/travel/. Each student must individually choose whether to undertake the risk of travel to the region and by enrolling agrees to assume all liability associated with the travel risk. Additional information on security conditions can also be accessed at http://travel.state.gov/>.il or <http://jerusalem.usconsulate.gov/>.
