May 3/Day 11

By: Eyal, Class of 2025

We spent Shabbat in Jerusalem. We woke up and ate breakfast. After that, we all picked which synagogue we wanted to go to, and we landed on a Sephardic synagogue in Yemin Moshe and the Great Synagogue. I was part of the group that went to the Sephardic Synagogue. I really enjoyed the praying experience and the people who were there. I would definitely go there again! After that, because we finished earlier than the people in the Great Synagogue, we went to there to say hello to our friends. We waited a few minutes, and we all made our way back to the hotel. 

When we got back to the hotel, we had a long break, and then we decided to go to a park. My family came to see me, so I wasn't with the rest of the group, but from what I heard, it was really fun. After that, I reunited with our group and we headed back to the hotel. When we got back, everybody was tired so most of the kids took the opportunity to sleep. 

After the long break we went to the rooftop and we had a very fun activity. Afterwards we had mincha and dinner when we finished dinner, we went to the lobby to join a special Sephardic/Yerushalmi havdalah. When we finished we walked to the Mamila mall, and a lot of kids bought food or accessories. Overall, it was a very fun Shabbat!
