Tel Aviv | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Tel Aviv

After experiencing the night life in Tel Aviv yesterday, today we started off with a relaxing swim at the beach.

We then visited Rabin Square, where PM Yitzchak Rabin was assassinated. We learned a lot from interviewing passerbyers; we asked them to share where they were when they first found out, how they felt about it, if they think it could happen again and more. After, we found some good places nearby to eat lunch and then took a nice stroll through the streets of Tel Aviv to Independence Hall.

There we learned about the story of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel. Now we are on our way to Israel's other major city, Jerusalem. As we continue to make our way through the country, we're starting to realize how much this country has to offer.
