Meaningful | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

One of our group members, along with our staff, created a very meaningful and interactive service for everyone to take part in. One of the best topics we talked about was how Shabbat should be relaxing in however you feel that is. 

Walking around the most ancient part of Jerusalem comes with so many feelings.

Looking at that famous and meaningful Jerusalem stone, noticing the variety of people walking the alley ways, and our special group experiencing it all together paints a picture that is so spiritualy meaningful.

As we got closer to the western wall, everyone's heart started beating faster, awaiting. For some of us that moment when we first saw the Western Wall was really unique, for some even life changing.

We were lucky enough to have a special guest come talk to us after the tour was completed: our security guard's grandmother, Drora Schlacter. We sat in silence as we listened intently to her survival story of the Holocaust. She told us of how she had traveled to a few different cities and her encounters until she eventually ended up in the United States. The entire experience was extremely moving.
