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
