4/24
Today was our last full day Jewish History Tiyul :(. We started at an old police station in Latrun. There we learned about the war of Independence and also got to climb on some tanks.
Afterwards we went to the secret bullet factory in Rehovot. I remember going there when we came to Israel but it was cool to have our J-Hist teachers give us some more background.
Then we drove to Tel-Aviv and had a small presentation at the Independence Hall/art museums a a little free time.
For out Thursday night outing we went to a mall for a few hours.
4/25- Friday
Since we are all still tired out from yam l'Yam, for our Tzdakah project this morning we watched a movie called "Pay it Forward" to give us some rest. (If you haven't seen it, you should!)
After lunch I worked on my J-Hist project for most of the day until services.
Tonight they did a different service than usual. Mitch, Andrew, and Justin decided to make it blindfolded. We all brought a shirt and blindfolded our selves then walked in a line to where we were having services. They kept the service to minimum English and everyone was sitting in his own space. The idea was that by taking away our sense of sight it would strengthen our other senses and allow us to focus more. I really liked it because all you could here was the guitar and everyone's voices singing together and you could really only here the individual voices of the 2 or 3 people sitting around you.
Towards the end we were told to take off our blindfolds and look at the people around us.
For oneg Shabbat, we had kickboxing in the Goren.
After rooms in I went over to Shoshana, Tessa, and Chloe's room and we watched a movie then I slept over in their extra bed. :)
