Friday, May 10

What a full week it has been! This morning we started in a Soup Kitchen in Jerusalem helping prepare lunch that is served to 100 poor people every day. The students did a really good job and felt like they had done a Mitzvah. Next we headed to the famous Jewish market place in Jerusalem called Makhane Yehuda. The bustling market place is full of things to see, hear, buy and taste. The kids had a good time and then we went to a food court in a mall outside of Jerusalem for lunch. Everyone seemed tired from the busy and late day we had yesterday so we went back to the hotel to rest ( some kids even took a good nap). Now we are getting ready for Shabbat and to go to the Old City and walk down to the Kotel. It is always a very special experience. We'll have a late Shabbat dinner so we have time to really see and experience Shabbat at the Wall. Shabbat Shalom to everyone!
