Day 5 with Bus 274 | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Day 5 with Bus 274

By Evan Schmidt

We checked out of the Caesar Hotel at 8am and headed for Yad Vashem.

It was exciting for all of us to see our IDF soldiers in uniform, as they have been allowed to wear street clothes on the trip thus far.

We were given an educational tour by a delightful woman named Shoshana, who was originally from New Jersey.

The tour lasted around three hours and highlighted many of the exhibits at Yad Vashem.

We all left in silence, reflecting upon what we had just heard and seen. It was such an individual and unique experience for all and we encourage you to speak with your loved one about his or her personal thoughts.
