We can't believe our trip is already coming to a close.
We spent today wrapping up our fantastic experience. We started today off with a delicious breakfast in the hotel and then walked to a local park for a Saturday morning service. It was really interesting to compare this service to the Orthodox service we experienced last night.
After our service, we spent some time playing on a nearby playground before sitting down for a wrap-up session. Rabbi Marc posed a few questions to the group and asked students to take turns answering them. Students discussed what some highlights of the trip were, what made them laugh, what they had learned, and what questions they are leaving with. It was amazing to hear how much the students got out of these short (but jam-packed) 10 days.
We grabbed some lunch after our conversation. Once we ate and packed up our stuff in the hotel, we headed out for a walking tour of the Old City in Jerusalem. We finished the night with a delicious farewell dinner at a local restaurant. After dinner, we walked back to our hotel and had to say a tearful goodbye to our beloved guide, Zvi.
Students are now packing and preparing last minute things for the early flight tomorrow. We can't wait to see you at JFK tomorrow!
