In February, 15 people traveled to the north of Israel for the 5^th Go North pilot trip. The enthusiastic group visited a number of the communities popular with Olim including Ma’a lot, Nahariya, Karmiel and Tzefat. In each city the ‘pilot trippers’ met Olim in their homes, and municipal officials, and participated in a tour of the city.

The trip was packed with workshops as well, including Employment Networking and Strategies, Medical Care in Israel, Education in Northern Israel, and Real Estate. In addition to learning much about the opportunities in the North, the Olim got to know each other and the Go North staff.

The next Go North pilot trip is already being planned for July 2012. Look online for details: www.gonorth.org.il.
