Partnership | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

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. 

If I had to describe Friday in one word, I would say magical.

We started off the day by visiting a school in Pardes Hama. Despite the language barrier, we all made great connections with the Israeli schoolchildren by participating in fun activities like hide and seek and making nutella covered pita.
