To commence the first Shabbat we spent in the Holy Land, we had a nice planned activity that took place outside. We spoke about complexities/failure and perspective. We then took a nice hour and a half walk to the Kotel. There, we participated in an activity about the different quarters of the Old City and its past, present, and future.
After that, we went to the wall for a beautiful Havdallah. Praying and putting notes in the Kotel was a very meaningful experience for both the Diller fellows who had never been in Israel before and those who had already been there. We finished our night on Ben Yehuda street, where we were able to buy some yummy falafel and go shopping in Jerusalem's local stores.
