21 trip with a heavy emphasis on the Torah. It also costs less than the
others at just $250.

Parents will find it hard to complain about that or the $450
price tag for Meor Vision or $450 for Olami, not including the
flight cost.

Even the $850 for Meor Poland isn’t too steep.

To today’s Jewish college students, this is the norm. Most are
likely unaware how different it is from when their parents and
“Sometimes we don’t
seem to have much unity,
but at the end of the day
it’s really one people, one
nation, one heart.”
— SHOSHANA KAY
grandparents went to school.

“This is a much more entitled culture than 10 years ago — and
I don’t mean that in a bad way,” said Kay, who’s been involved with
Meor for 11 years. “Because of Birthright and other trips, they
have such opportunities. And everyone’s vying for their time and
attention, so we have to recruit hard. ... A non-Jewish student or
someone older who didn’t have this would recognize this is a big
deal. They’d say, ‘These people are so lucky.’”
What makes today’s Jewish college students such “chosen people”?
“It’s because Jews care so much about other Jews,” Kay said.

“Sometimes we don’t seem to have much unity, but at the end of
the day it’s really one people, one nation, one heart. Jews are will-
ing to put millions and millions of dollars into young strangers
just because they care about perpetuating their Judaism. That’s
quite remarkable.”
To Fertel Weinstein, though, it’s simply the gift that gives again
and again.

“Who knew 12 years later I’d come to work here?” she said.

“But everything I’m doing now is helping pay back for an amazing
experience that changed my life.” l

What Keeps Sun-Hungry
Snowbirds Flocking Back to
Each Year?
RACHEL KURLAND | JE STAFF
I t’s officially winter — holiday joy in the air, logs in the fire-
place, snow on the horizon — which probably means it’s time to flock south.

If you have reached the age where you can recite Roger Murtaugh’s “I’m too
old for this” Lethal Weapon line and mean it, I salute you. Why put up with shov-
eling snow and lugging around heavy boots when places like Florida exist?
