Sderot and Agricultural Farm Visit

By Mandy Monreal

On this lovely afternoon, we continued our journey through Israel. We stopped in a town called Sderot and visited the JNF indoor playground. This building is a place where children can come play and be safe from potential danger that may come from the neighboring Gaza Strip. Previously, children from this area had to stay inside their homes due to danger. It has rooms that act as shelters as well as many as many different activity areas, including a rockwall! This place was very colorful and lively; I couldn't help but feel happiness and love for this place as well as the children that come here.

After this, we visited an agricultural farm run by a man named Alfledo. He spoke to us about living in an area close to the Gaza Strip. It was very fascinating and touching. We got to taste some of his produce as well, which was absolutely delicious.

All in all, it was a beautiful afternoon filled with love and appreciation for a place that has so much history.
