Jewish Agency Chairman Zeev Bielski, was on hand to personally greet the mission. Meir Nitzan, head of the North American Delegation of the Jewish Agency, was himself responsible for planning and coordinating the visit and accompanied the mission throughout their stay at the village.

Their visit began on a spirited note.  Immigrant children from the Safed Absorption Center, who are being hosted at the village due to the situation, danced with the Conference of Presidents Mission members.

At a festive dinner that evening, the children from the absorption center received
warm and heartfelt words from Zeev Bielski, Jewish Agency chairman and Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Conference of  Presidents. Gifts were then distributed and certificates of excellence were awarded to three deserving youth residing at the village.

After the meal, the mission went to the village's cultural hall to hear a lecture given by Uri Lubrani, the Israeli government's long time adviser.
