Birthright Hanukkah Party! | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Birthright Hanukkah Party!

Thinking we were going to a boring Taglit conference, we were pleasantly surprised upon arriving that that was the furthest thing from the truth. The room was full of hundreds of other people our age from all over the US and Canada. After listening to some speeches from the founders and supporters of Birthright, and leading philanthropist Sheldon Adelson and his wife, we were surprised with a concert by HaTikva 6, a popular Israeli band. From the minute the music began we didn't stop dancing! It was clear our bus was the best out of all the other groups when we made a scene dancing from the front row of the auditorium out to the lobby. Although the night ended in the potent stench of sweat, followed by a two hour bus ride, it was worth every second
