Eighth Graders Arrive in Israel!

A Message from Yerushalayim...

Hi, this is Paige Epstein and Sydney Altman in Israel. 
Today was our first day in Israel, and it was a memorable one!  We reunited with friends from our fellow Gesher schools, and we landed at six thirty in the morning.  After fulfilling the important mitzvah of planting an oak tree, we toured ancient caves, and participated in an exciting archaeological dig.  One of our classmates, Josh Trif, discovered an ancient clay pot from the time of the Macabees, along with other artifacts.  Upon arriving in Jerusalem this afternoon, we checked into the hotel, ate dinner, and discussed the trip to the Kotel, which we will be making tomorrow.  We look forward to the exciting and unforgettable experiences that we will create in the Holy Land.
Love, Paige Epstein and Sydney Altman
