MAJ Balas,
Thank you for the email. My family and I are very excited about the upcoming year; I have heard, from previous participants, that the summer course is very informative.
Current move restrictions in place by the U.S. government restrict me from arriving in Israel any earlier than July 15th. I’m not sure if there will still be a 14 day quarantine in place, but I am prepared for that too.
Regardless, I look forward to having a great year in Israel!
Warm Regards,
LtCol Scott

Dear LtCol Timothy Scott,
Congratulations on your acceptance to the Israel National Defense College!
My name is MAJ Gal Balas and I am the head of the International Student Management Office (ISMO) at the INDC.
We would like to invite the incoming international participants to attend a summer course at the INDC beginning in Mid-July. We believe the summer course gives partcipants a valuable opportunity to acclimate to Israeli culture, and society, and the Hebrew language before the Israeli partcipants join the course on September 2nd, 2020.
Exact dates and further information will be sent in the near future. In the meantime, please feel free to direct all your questions to one on the following addresses:
LTC Matan Or - Head of INDC Education Branch.
