Oscars celebrity gift bag to include $55K trip to Israel

(JNS.org) Actors and directors nominated for an Oscar this year will received a voucher for a $55,000, all-expenses-paid trip to Israel as part of the $200,000 gift package typically awarded to Academy Award nominees. Each voucher covers first-class flights and hotel accommodations for two people. The celebrity visitors to the Jewish state can stay in hotels like the Waldorf Astoria in Jerusalem, which was recently ranked the seventh-best hotel in the world and the best in Middle East, and where a top suite costs as much as $2,000 a night. The voucher is more expensive than the 15-day walking tour of Japan ($45,000) that is also awarded in the Oscars gift package.
