Old City, Yad Vashem, and Kinneret

Jared Pashko

What an amazing few days we have had.   We spent Shabbat in the holy city of Jerusalem.  Before bringing in Shabbat, we toured the old city and visited the Kotel (Western Wall).  It was a moving experience and we all had a chance to connect to our spirituality and our heritage.  

During Shabbat we tried to unplug and relax at our hotel. We had delicious Shabbat meals together and enjoyed a Shabbat walk, nap or games in small groups through out the day.  

After Havdalah we went to the amazing sound and light show at the walls of the Tower of David in the Old City!

Sunday brought a day of mixed emotions. We began the day at Yad Vashem, Holocaust memorial museum, learning about one of the worst times in our people's history.  It was amazing seeing everyone support each other and respect each others feelings.  We then continued on to the north to our hotel on the Kinneret, the Sea of Galilee. After a long drive we had dinner, a small activity and then we were ready for bed. 
More to come soon.
