July 6, 7 & 8
Sunday July 6 - after another delisious breakfast we boarded our luxery bus and headed to the KENNEST. we felt the modern history of Israel come a live. We learnt about the role of the prime minister and all of the MKs (Kennest Members)/ We were dazzeled by the beautiful tapestry and mosaics created by Shagal depicting the past present and future of our nation. The old jail was a fantastic experiance. Here we relived the hardships of our nation during the british occupation of Israel. We saw a short film describing the life of a jew being icarcirated in this prison and how he lived his life. It was very hands on and all the boys enjoyed it. We then enjpyed some time at Ben Yehuda street.
Monday July 7 - started with an amazing breakfast and giving in of the laundry. We then boarded a SAFARI JEEP which took us from Jerusalem to Midbar Yehudah. It was an experience not to be believed. We saw how water is collected in the desert and then we went on top of Har Azazel where we were able to see the Dead Sea and the city of Jerusalem. We then refreshed oueselves in a spring in Nahal Kelt. we were amazedat the view we saw from on top of a desert mountain were we where able to see the city of Yericho and an ancient Heshmonian castle.
Tuesday July 8 - was by far the most exciting for the boys. We started our day off with a surprise visit and speach from Rabbi Eli Mansour. It was enjoyed by all. We then bourded the buses and went to a beach in Cesearia. After we battled it out with an intence game of paintball followed by activities were we had to use our minds, physical strength, and most important, team work to complete each mission. Upon our arrival at our base we were lucky to partake in a siyum on masechet megilah were we sang and danced and ate a delisious dinner.
