MACHON IMASA SEMINARS
by Adam Eis
While in Israel, I made two mistakes. The first mistake was not going to the first Machon
Masa seminar. The second m istake...not going to the second Machon Masa seminar. The
third seminar was approaching, and as the saying goes, “Third times a charm.” There was
no way in hell I was going to miss this seminar. The weekend came and I was excited. Of
course, when you are having a great time, it always goes by quickly, and that’s exactly what
happened with this weekend. It was as great as everyone said it would be. There was a
fourth and a fifth seminar, which I had to attend (Machon Masa seminars are addicting) and
the results were even better. You are probably asking yourselves what’s so great about this
place. Well, you obviously never attended one of these seminars if you don’t know why
everyone loves it.
WHAT MACHON MASA HAS TO OFFER:
• Hotel room at kibbutz M a’ale Hachamisha (2-4 people per room depending on the size
of the seminar)
• Television, A/C, and bathtubs in hotel room
• Indoor and outdoor swimming pools (outdoor pool opens in may, and is a 5 minute walk
from hotel)
• Hot tub (always filled up by Hebrew U. participants)
• 2 saunas (one is a dry sauna, and the other is a wet sauna.... Whatever the difference is)
• Ping pong
• Weight room (for an extra 20 shekels)
• Great food (5 meals for the weekend consisting of: soup, rolls, many types of spreads,
rice, BEEF, chicken, fish, salad bar, and several types of desserts)
ALL THIS FOR 60 SHEKELS. That’s $15 American dollars, and for all you Canadians (no
disrespect) figure it out yourselves. There is no better deal in Israel... Oh yeah, and if you
would like they have some seminars.
