A Fun Day in the Sun | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

A Fun Day in the Sun

We had a blast today!! We started our day on the beach where we learned how to surf from Israeli instructors, Yaron and Omer. These young Israeli entrepreneurs founded HaGal Sheli, an organizion that teaches at-risk youth to surf as a part of helping them overcome other struggles in their lives.

After a fun day in the sun playing volleyball, matkot and surfing, we headed to Beer Sheva where we learned how to play basketball on wheelchairs through Beit Halochem, which is an organization that built sports and other athletic facilities around Israel for disabled veterans.

Our groups were split up and we had a wheel chair basketball tournament. They then treated all of us with Israeli sport jerseys and pins for us to take home as a gift. It was really a unique and uplifting day!
