Travel Day and Day 1 | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Travel Day and Day 1

Our Israeli adventure is off to a wonderful start! After convening at JFK, we embarked on a 10 hour flight to Zurich.  We spent our hour-long layover enjoying our complimentary Swiss Air chocolates and meeting our groupmates before we completed our travel (and caught up on some sleep) along the 4 hour flight to Tel-Aviv.

 

After touching down in Israel we hit the ground running as we met our excited Israeli participants and boarded the bus for our trip to Jerusalem. Before we knew it we found ourselves saying Shehechiyanu (a Jewish prayer said to celebrate special occasions) as we looked out over beautiful Jerusalem and the walls of the old city (most of us for the first time in our lives). We ended this extremely exciting day checking into our hotel where we'll stay for two nights, getting some much-needed dinner and sleep, and looking forward to the days to come!
