Sunday, June 21st | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Sunday, June 21st

Today, we visited Israel's famous Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem. Out of respect for the memorial, there were no pictures taken of the exhibit. The amount of emotions and reflections from each one of us was more than enough to represent the memories of the tour.

After Yad Vashem, we traveled south to the Negev Desert where we visited the grave of David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister. At his grave site, we ended with a naming ceremony for those who did not have a Jewish name already, but thought it would be a great feeling to receive one.

All in all, it was another great, meaningful day in Israel.
