After a scrumptious
breakfast, we loaded the bus and drove north to the Palmach museum, were we
experienced the lives of ten Palmachim, an elite group of Jewish soldiers that
were trained by the British. We experienced many of their failures and triumphs
and it was very powerful and meaningful.
Later we drove to Shuk HaCarmel, where we had over two hours
of time to explore it. We ate lunch and bought many gifts and foods. Some of
these items were even bargained for by the Israelis in training (us). Though
it was very crowded and noisy, we all had an amazing experience and a great
time.
We then drove south to Yafo, where we got out of the bus for
an hour and a half and toured the old city. We went through many streets and
alleys and we learned about the long history of Yafo. Our group also got the
chance to go into an art gallery where we saw one of the smallest clay images
and also archaeological remains. Finally we got to the old port where we took a
few pictures and made our way back to the bus.
At the end of the day the Edmontonians organized a Shabbat evening.
We had that meeting on the roof of our building and it was a lot of fun. For me
and (hopefully) everybody else, it was another amazing, fun and interesting day
in Israel.
