  • Medical Information

  • Please fill out all of the medical information below. Proper medical documentation is a crucial part of our safety procedures. Therefore, it is important that you fill out the information below accurately and completely. If you do not have all of the information that you need, you may send an email to flag this and send your updated information ASAP to michael@shorashim.org.

  • We will do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions, but it can be difficult to accommodate a vegan or gluten-free diet in Israeli hotels; you may need to supplement hotel meals with food that you have purchased.

    If there is a challenge in doing so beyond what is outline above, someone from our team will reach out to you directly.

  • Insurance Information

  • While you are in Israel, Shorashim provides you with limited health insurance in Israel; You can see the policy  here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/5pbuiwyubgpieqz/GroupInsurance-Updated.pdf?dl=0. We highly recommend you purchase a comprehenseive package.

    Linked here is a rider for coverage for pre-existing conditions for those who purchase the exteneded coverage above: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xrxetrx6c0i47hv/Pre-Exisiting%20Rider.pdf?dl=0  

    Please note that it does not cover preexisting conditions (which include most psychological conditions) and does not cover you while you are in flight. If you do not have medical insurance that covers you in Israel (your place of work and study may provide it) or you would like additional insurance for lost baggage or flight delay, an option for additional/extended insurance is outlined in the previous link and can be purchased here: https://egertcohen.co.il/tourist-health-insurance.
