I was just there from February 19 to February 28. I was not on a group tour and I paid for the trip myself. I stayed in a small hotel in Jerusalem, and also visited Haifa, the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi. I read the State Department's warnings before the trip as well as Jpost.com for news about Israel. I was not afraid and found the country to be just as safe as my home in Virginia except for Gaza and The West Bank. I would go back to visit if I could afford to and I would love to send my children there for a semester or year of study.
