Hi Ima and Abba,
Today we went on a very inspiring and informative tour of the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament), it was so interesting. We learned about the 120 seats of the Knesset and experienced first hand what it’s like to be a part of the Israeli government. Later that day we visited the famous Shuk/ farmers market in Jerusalem. During our visit we experienced the classic life of an Israeli citizen through shopping and bargaining. Most of all I can’t forget about the amazing ice coffee!
After the Shuk we had a tour of the Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem. We started by hearing from a Holocaust survivor named Asher, who taught us first hand about his life before and after the holocaust. From there, we we went on an inspiring walk where we learned a lot about the history and struggles, for Jews during the holocaust. At the end of the day we went to Mae Hasharim, and ate some pretty yummy pizza! Over all it was a very moving and inspiring experience and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Go EuroIce!
