I use the app "Waze" all the time; not sure if you all knew this, but it was created in Israel! Pretty crazy huh?!

It was awesome to be in the place where the State of Israel was born and I feel like we got to learn a lot about the country of Israel as a whole.
Yad VaShem affected me especially, both as memorial to mark and educate the world about what happened, but also to demonstrate that life is still possible and if you will it so, it will go on. We can build countries, learn languages and customs, talk to the survivors we know, and take pride in our resilience.
Our Shabbat service this evening was very pretty. It was nice to sing prayers I hadn't sang in years and to find that I still remembered them. After the service and the lovely kibbutz dinner, we split into groups and learned about each other's backgrounds, then played a game based on remembering people's names that had me paralyzed with laughter.
