Celebrating Israel's Birthday IN ISRAEL!

Hi! This is Elias Neibart and Lielle Lev blogging from Israel!  We started off the day with a special morning service in honor of Yom Ha’Hatzmaut with another Jewish day school from Cleveland, Ohio.  After the nutritious breakfast, we traveled to the City of David and explored the wonderful water tunnels. We got to see the story’s of the Bible come to life. Most kids were scared in the tunnels because of the dark, but their fear faded and everyone had a great time.  Than we went to have lunch at Ein Yael, where we participated in many activities ranging from basket weaving to pita making.  After the great lunch, we went to the Tzfat hike and experienced beautiful scenery and nature.  We even got to crawl in more pitch black tunnels! After the tiring day, we returned to the hotel to eat and rest. Now we are going to our evening activity to learn and discuss our Jewish roots and heritage.  See you soon! Chag Sameach!
