On Monday July 11, we had yet another great day in Israel. The day started off emotionally and ended with such energy and lots of excitement.
We sadly left Kennes with lots of hugs and goodbyes. We began the day by visiting the Hertzl museum, followed by a tour of Mount Hertzl. At the Hertzl museum we saw a play and learned about Hertzl and his future vision for Israel. This was very interesting and inspiring to learn about. We then continued our day by visiting Mount Hertzl, where we were taken on a tour and learned about many important and memorable people that have sadly passed away. Their memory will stay with us forever.
The day then continued with a sad and emotional visit to Yad Vashem, a Holocaust Museum. It was a very sad and emotional visit. It was interesting to learn about the Holocaust in details. The thing that I liked most about the museum was that the museum doesn't just focus on the people in the Holocaust as a whole, but it focused on the individuals in the Holocaust.
Although it was a very emotional time, the day soon turned exciting as we made our way to Be'er Sheva to reunite with our Israeli pen pals and for opening ceremony. The opening ceremony committee did a wonderful job getting everyone excited for community week with fun filled activities as well as sharing with us our community week schedule. The day was filled with fun activities. The first day of community week was a big success.
I can't wait to experience the rest of community week and see what the rest of our Israel trip awaits.
