A Day of Rest in Jerusalem

Upon awakening in the holy city of Jerusalem we felt refreshed and ready for a quiet day of reflection and contemplation. Breakfast was early for those of us who slept through dinner the night before and was filled with great coffee and an interesting assortment of Israeli foods such as avocados and cheese. Our group activities started in the morning with optional yoga or a discussion with a local rabbinical student in Jerusalem. Afterwards, we feasted on lunch and in the afternoon we went for a walk and saw many of the government buildings such as the Knessett, the home of the Israeli parliament. We then concluded the walk with the Wohl Rose Park of Jerusalem where we played a fun game and had a stirring Hillel discussion about the uniqueness of being a Jew. We returned to the hotel where we are about to embark on a night of fun with new friends. Katelyn Flippen and Daniel Diner
