<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kehilah Kedosha at the Kotel
First Day in Israel
What's so special about a wall? I mean I get that it's old, I get that it has religious significance, but at the end of the day it's a wall. Before visiting the Kotel for the first time, I didn't understand what the big deal was. I'd learned about it in Sunday school, I'd seen pictures and heard stories about how incredible thIs wall is, but none of it really made sense. Honestly, i wasn't all that excited to vIsit the western wall on our first day in Israel. The sun was beating dOwn and i was tired and delirious from jet lag. But as we got closer and closer to the wall, things began to change. I heard people speaking Hebrew. I heard people speaking English. I heard people speaking many other unidentifiable languages. I saw people from countless different backgrounds. Different ages different cultures different countries. I was getting my first taste of a Kehilah Kedosha. A holy community. As I approached the wall I didn't know what to feel, so I just sat down in a chair and watched. I watched as people prayed and cried and smiled. Then, the IST staff delivered letters from family members. As I read the notes an overwhelming sense of family washed over me. And I don't just mean parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and siblings. I am talking about the entire jewish people, my kehilah Kedosha. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2nd to last day in Israel.
Today we visited the Kotel again. Now I can truly say that I not only observed a kehilah Kedosha, I have become part of it. On Shabbat people come from far and wide to pray and celebrate at the western wall. Orthodox men stand next to soldiers in uniform. Young children coexist with the elderly. Everyone comes together to form something that can only be experienced first hand. There is no way to completely describe dancing and singing at the top of my lungs with many thousands of Jews from all over the world. There are no words to explain how proud I am to be jewish, to be part of this kehilah Kedosha</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9400005340576px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
With the final hours left of my journey into the holy land, the land of our fore fathers and fore mothers (a favorite phrase of our wonderful tour guide Elaun), coming to a close, I'm left to wonder how I have changed my perception of Israel and the Jewish people. Perhaps to the dismay of many, I can't say that I am imbued with a new religious fervor or rampant Zionism, but rather I have realized what it feels to be proud of one's Jewish heritage.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9400005340576px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Growing up Jewish, I was sent to Sunday school (which I never liked), had a bar mitzvah, and eventually found my place in a Jewish youth group. A pretty standard Jewish life for a person of my age. However, my Jewish and secular lives are entirely separate. I have Jewish friends and school friends, mutually exclusive. While I was not necessarily ashamed of my Judaism, I was definitely not proud of it. I am the Jewish one among my friends; a place I was happy to fill but never flaunt. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9400005340576px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Upon arriving a Cherry Creek, I noticed a student there. He wears his kippa everyday. I have no idea if he is a good person or not, if he is religious or not, but I always admired the courage it took for him to wake up and silently explain to the world with his kippa that he was not afraid of being different, being Jewish.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9400005340576px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Suddenly, when I arrived in Israel it all made sense. Although a minority in the world, the Jews are at home in Israel. You can't walk 100 meters without happening upon men with various styles and colors of kippot. When the Russian czar forced Jews to wear Shtreimel, we embraced the hat, making it a head covering for Chasidic to wear on Shabbat and other holidays. All the Chasidic men at the Kotel wear it with pride even today. When our ethic group was threatened with extermination during the Holocaust, we founded Israel only a few years after the end of World War II. To make it simple, Jews make lemonade out of lemons (for lack of a less cliche analogy).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9400005340576px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
The kippa is not only a sign that God is always above our heads but rather as a symbol of the tenacity of the Jewish race. We wear them proudly upon our heads now for all the people who, in the past, had that right stripped from them. I wore my kippa all the way to the Kotel and no one seemed to notice or care. It was normal. Everyone is proud. However, walking around the halls in Creek I'm sure people, even the Jews, would glance a second time at my head covering. Outside of Israel, it is a rarity to find a Jew proud of his ancestry and religion or at least one who is willing to display it so publicly.
When I first came to the Kotel almost a month ago now, I felt no connection to it at all and frankly it pissed me off because I wanted so badly to have felt something. And walking there tonight I hoped more than anything that this time would be different. I never even touched the wall when I went this time. I walked into the men's section and was heartily greeted by an Orthodox man who gave me a siddur (which I quickly dropped off in a nearby chair). I timidly walked around circles of men and soldiers loudly and proudly singing songs for Shabbat. I felt awkward and unwelcome, but then it clicked. I stumbled into the circle, arms around strangers as if we had known each other our whole lives, and soon so did other ISTers. We jumped around, butchered some songs, and laughed. Soon a group of boys from Mexico barged into a circle adding their unique flavor. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9400005340576px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
I looked around and saw all the different Jews in the plaza. Different sects, races, sizes, shapes all praying as the Jewish people in their own way. I had never felt so proud to be a Jew. It was not the wall that had impacted me but rather the people. The power of the Kotel was not the wall itself of the strength of the people by which it faced. The Kotel is a reflection of the entity that it represents. <span style="line-height: 17.9400005340576px;">The power of the Kotel was not the wall itself but the strength of the people by which it faced.</span></div>

We started our time at the wall participating in a Kabbalat Shabbat service all together. We then got to experience something very cool as an IST family. Elaun helped lead a bat mitzvah for Sofie because she had never had one. After our Kabbalat Shabbat together and Sofie's bat mitzvah, we all headed to the wall. Shabbat had already started at this point and everyone was praying and dancing by the wall. Men with men and women with women. The first thing I saw was a large circle of IDF soldiers all singing and dancing by the wall with a man in the middle waving a large Israeli flag. As I got closer, it got more and more amazing to see. The soldiers were all singing and dancing in harmony and it was something truly amazing to see. Some of my friends and I started our own circle once the IDF soldiers had finished singing. We were joined a little later by some high schoolers from Mexico. Not knowing these new people we had just met, we all put each other's hands on everyone's shoulders and started singing. It was truly amazing to see that people from the U.S. and people from Mexico, people who speak two different languages, can all join together and sing the same songs not as Americans and not as Mexicans, but as Jews. Walking around after singing with everyone, I took a moment to step back and soak everything in. To see all of the Jewish people at the Kotel for the same purpose (maybe some to pray and some to sing and dance with friends, but overall for the same purpose) was truly amazing. People from all over the world come to pray at the Kotel. To experience it first hand was very powerful. It was nothing like any other Shabbat I have ever experienced.</span></div>

Israel...what can I say? From the moment I arrive (and was so happy that my knees shook) to hiking in the Negev, along with Gadna and experiencing the culture, it has been a blast! And just when it seems like it was all over, you surprise me again. Kabbalat Shabbat at the Kotel was such a great experience. It was the highlight of my trip and I wasn't even expecting it. One more day left to live life here to the fullest. My life has been changed.<br />

And if anyone knows me, they know I am not a morning person, and I will hit you if you wake me up. (Sorry Elaun). After waking up early, we had long hot days filled with countless hours of touring, hiking, and a exaustion. We were active before sunrise, and after sunset everyday. Yet, in the grand scheme of things, I feel like there is so much we still could have done. Before coming to Israel, someone told me that you could tour Israel everyday for your entire life and there will always be more to see. I never realized how much this means. And for this reason, I am leaving Israel, with a need to learn more. A want to see everything. There is no doubt in my mind that I will find myself back here. Maybe for a year, maybe for a lifetime. I have found a home in this land, and no words can give justice to what I have seen, learned, and experienced.</span></div>

Tonight is a bittersweet night. Tonight we celebrated our last Shabbat here in Israel. When I left America, it didn't feel real that I was coming to Israel. Now it doesn't feel real that I'm coming home. In a way, l'm excited. I get to see my friends. I get to see my family. But being here has been an experience that I will never have again, and I don't want it to end. Sure there were days when I wanted nothing more to come home. With my luck, I of course came down with a fever and sprained my ankle. But even the days I felt the worst, I laughed. There wasn't a day here that I didn't laugh. Sure I fell in love with the land, but more than that, I fell in love with the people. We came here as strangers. Now, we are 73 teenagers, 11 staff members, and one family, all dreading the final goodbye.</span></span></span></div>

Wahoo!! We now have a good internet signal to upload some of the pics over the last few days and update you with everything that we have been doing. Sometimes it's difficult to recall what you did yesterday let alone 8 hours ago since this trip is extremely packed with fun-filled, educational, experiential and wonderful activities. I wanted to just sum up what we have done over the last few days, a few pictures and then a wonderful post by one of our students which shows the true meaning of the impact that IST can have on an individual.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we will go to Yad Vashem, which is the Israel Holocaust Museum, and spend a few hours in the Jerusalem Market (Shuk) before preparing for our final Shabbat in Israel.<br />

<b><u>Tuesday July 14th</u></b></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Tour of Independence Hall</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Independence Hall, originally the Dizengoff House is the site of the signing of Israel's Declaration of Independence. It is located on the historic Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, Israel. From 1932 to 1971 housing the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, it is currently a museum dedicated to the signing of the Israeli Declaration of Independence and the history of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. </li>
</ul>
<li><b>Shopping time at the Carmel Market & Nachalat Binyamin artist market in Tel Aviv</b></li>
<li><b>Visited one of our favorite organizations, Save A Child's Heart</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Save A Child's Heart (SACH) is one of the largest undertakings in the world, providing urgently needed pediatric heart surgery and follow-up care for indigent children from developing countries. Based in Israel, our mission is to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from countries where the heart surgery they need is unobtainable.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Visited the Holon Children's Museum.</b> </li>
<ul>
<li> Some of our group learned about what it felt to be blind and another group learned about the aging process and how it feels to get older</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Had a delicious pizza dinner on the port of Jaffa followed by the incredible play at Nalagaat Theatre.</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Eleven deaf-blind actors take the audience on a magical tour in the districts of their inner world; the world of darkness, silence and…bread. As the process of bread making unfolds on stage – the dough is being kneaded, raised and baked “for real” – a unique encounter occurs between actors and audience. Together they re-enact vivid or distant memories, recall forgotten dreams and joyful moments and ‘touch’ the spark of Creation present in every one of us. The actors take the spectators into those magical moments between reality and fantasy, between grandeur and ridicule, and always eventually return to the basic meaning of bread as a symbol of our longing for a home. </li>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Blog post by Eric Simon</span></i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With only 3 days left of this life changing trip I cannot help but rethink everything about it. I wonder: was it worth it, did I enjoy it, did I make new friends, will I come back, what will I say when I get back, did I learn anything, did I change, etc. All I can say is that for me I could not have asked for a better summer. Was it worth it yes. Did I enjoy every single moment no and I don't think anyone enjoyed every moment;however, I can feel confident in saying that I enjoyed a majority of the trip. Everyday there was something positive in it. Everyday I laughed to the point of cramps, I talked to a new person, I felt happy, I was impressed, I was interested, and I was grateful. So yes, I feel comfortable in saying that I did enjoy the trip because it was truly an amazing experience. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Making new friends is something that is impossible to avoid on this trip. You are spending 36 days with 73 people every single minute of the day. There is not one part of the day where you are not at least within ear shot of any IST member. The friends I made on this trip will forever be my friends. They are amazing, funny, and we bonded. They are my family and I care for them with my whole soul. I cannot begin to express how much these people mean to me. So yes I made new friends and connected with old ones. Honestly the idea of coming back to Israel is a no brainier. Or course I will be back. Whether it be in one year or 10. I will be back to Israel and I will fall in love with the place all over again. I love Israel. I love it because of the culture and the beauty and the cities. I don't know if I can call this place my home because of the Judaic aspect, but I can call it my home because Israel does something different that no other country I have ever been to does. And that is acceptance. You walk around the streets of Israel and you feel accepted. You look to the right or left and you will see a new family member. It is weird to imagine and it is hard to explain unless you have been here but it is the truth. It is a family here and they do what they must to be a family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't know if what they do is always correct but it is always for the right intention. So, Mom, be prepared because your son will be back eventually and I am brining Papa. The one thing that will be said whenever anyone asks me about this trip is, "It was truly an experience that I will always remember". Because it is true. This trip I will never forget. It will always be with me. I will be telling stories from this trip for years. I have pictures that will tell my story. IST 2015 will not evade my memory. So my response will be unforgettable.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">IST 2015 has taught me many valuable lessons both silly and serious:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1)Jellyfish are evil and will sting you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2)Being there for one another is the best solution for anyone</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3)Drinking water will cure any illness</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4)Swollen knees are just bug bites</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4)If one person goes to the hospital 10 more will follow</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5)Cook offs are just a way to make children work for food</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6)Kosher Delight is not delightful</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7)Bus rides are the best cuddle sessions</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">8)Talking to staff is just as fun as talking to the kids</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">9)Israelis don't wait in line</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">10)Family isn't just by blood or marriage </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course there are more lessons but this is already a little long. However, this last answer requires a longer explanation so just bear with me. I think I have changed. I honestly believe that the Eric Joseph Simon that left Denver on June 14th is different from the Eric Joseph Simon that will arrive at Denver on July 19th. I think that I became more confident, personal, and respectful. I think that I have a new understanding of what it means to stand up for something you want. I am starting to grasp the idea that sometimes school isn't that important. Sometimes there are things that are more important and will affect you just as much. I have become a new Eric. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't know if it is better or worse but it is different. I feel different and I am happier. I am so thankful for IST;however, I think I am most thankful for my mom not just because she is reading this but because she sent me on this trip that changed me. She sent me halfway around the world with 73 other people and let me find my self. She indirectly created all my experiences and truly made this spectacular for me. I am so thankful for her and her support. This trip was unforgettable and I truly owe it all to her. So thank you mom and congrats on the Art Institute.</span></div>

We started out by checking out the amazing view at the top of the Baha'i Gardenrs in Haifa. The grounds are absolutely immaculate and are maintained daily. With over half a million visitors a year, the Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa and ‘Akko are among the most popular sites in the Middle East. Their unique design, combining geometrical shapes and exquisite detailing with loving conservation of natural and historic landscape features, leaves an indelible impression on visitors. Many return again and again to experience the changing seasons and relive the serene tranquility and uplifting spirit of these special places.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We continued walking above the gardners to a nearby park where we have the incredible privilege to hear from Zev Kedem, who is a Holocaust survivor and was on Schindler's List. This is the 5th time he has spoken with IST and it's extremely meaningful to everyone each time. The students listened to every word that he had to say and his greatest advice was "Love thy neighbor as thyself". It's incredible to hear all that he went through as a young boy and to still have a positive attitude with being kind to others, showing a genuine interest in other people, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We took the bus and went to an artist colony nearby called Ein Hod. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Founded in 1953 by the Dada artist Marcel Janco and a group of artists, Ein Hod is the only artists’ village in Israel, and one of few of it’s kind in the whole world. Nestled in the heart of the Hof Carmel region, among olive groves and fruit orchards, the village glides down mount Carmel green hills to the sea shore. This pictorial setting is enhanced by the special and intensive cultural and diversified artistic scenario.150 artists and their families inhabit Ein Hod. They live, work and create in the village in every cultural medium and field of endeavor. Through the years, the special atmosphere in the village has influenced the second and third generations into choosing to live here and become artists in their own rights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After having dinner in the town of Zichron Yaakov, we came back to the hotel for a special presentation. We met with members of the group called Hope for Heroism or Brothers for Life. This is an amazing organization in Israel that is similar to Wounded Warriors Project in the United States. We heard from a few Israeli soldiers who told us their stories about being in the IDF, their injuries whether physical or emotional and how this organization has impacted them. </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">HFH is based on the model of “injured soldiers helping injured soldiers”. The model is simple: every new member of HFH is assigned a mentor, a soldier who was also injured and dealt with similar experiences and challenges. The mentoring process often begins at the hospital bed and continues until our injured brothers are able to not only return to their lives, but help others do so as well. Mentoring takes place both in the Beit Achim and all over Israel in the cities where our soldiers are trying to re-integrate. There is nothing more powerful than being mentored by another injured soldier who suffered injuries, defeated death and lost his friends, but has found his way back to a productive life.

It made me even more nervous because I knew that they would only speak limited English. I was pleasantly surprised when I got there to find how easy it was to fit in. The family treated us like we were a part of it and tried to make us feel at home. We had the wonderful experience of painting a kindergarten which was fun & rewarding. I was shocked at how easy it was to fit in with the Israeli teens and I ended up loving all of the time we spent together. It was also amazing to experience Shabbat at someone's home in Israel. We spent Friday night with all of their extended family and had an amazing time with the new experience. Overall, my family weekend ended up being my favorite experience so far.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
My
name is Grant, and I am one of the teens partaking in this roller coaster of a
trip. If you are reading this, you are either a worried/eager parent who wants
to see what their child has been embarking upon half way across the world, or
an IST'er that found wifi. Either way, the point of this post is to let you
know what is going on over here, through the eyes of a teen having the
privilege of experiencing such an amazing trip. It has been a wild 4 weeks so
far. I have been able to meet so many wonderful people both on and off the
trip, which has been one of my favorite parts of the trip. Poland was an
experience all in its self. I am sure that each one of us took away something
different from the countless grave sites and concentration camps, I personally
got to fully understand the depth of which the Holocaust had in World War
II. The amount of lives that were not just taken, but shattered by the loss of
loved ones was horrendous. I'm glad that I got to see for myself how brutal
this disaster was, so I can one day pass it on to the next generation, and that
they will never forget what happened in those scarring six years. Wow. That was
super dark. On a brighter note, I found that hummus is so much better here than
in America. Like, SO MUCH BETTER. To end, I'm going to give some honest answers
to some questions that people might have. Yes, the food in Poland is as bad as
everyone says. All you have to say is "Kosher Delight" and we will
all moan in disgust. No, I have not felt in anyway scared or in danger of any
violence. The staff are working hard to keep us safe, and they are doing a
fantastic job. Yes, I am drinking lots of water, we are reminded to do so every
day, and the kids that don't are the ones you hear about being stuck in the
hospital. On a completely separate note, in Israel, light switches are on the
outsides of rooms. I'm not sure if it's just me that is slightly annoyed by
that, but I mean come on, how is that not weird? Anyway, this blog is coming to
a close, have a wonderful day/night, and we will see you in less than a week! <o:p></o:p></div>

weeks in Israel have been pretty mind-boggling, we've gotten to do things I've
never done before in my entire life let alone even knew existed. Electives week
was especially impacting to me because I did Tikkun Olam (Community service)
and that has a special place in my heart because I enjoy giving back to other
people and it put a smile on my face when I saw smiles on other people's faces.
This has been an amazing journey for me and I feel like I've grown, from trying
new things to being sociable with people I just met. It feels like I've been in
Israel forever because it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, and its been
more than 21 days. I've made a habit of being in Israel every minute of
every day. I didn't know that people can get so close in this amount of
time. It's like they were friends from the beginning. But I think all
these cool experiences, some being nerve racking, have brought people closer
together. In the end of it all I will miss Israel and its people that
we've met and our IST ensemble, but I feel grateful for all these once in a
lifetime opportunities. I just wanted to say one last thing Noah and Smadar are
our medics and guards but other than just protecting us they also counsel us. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12734078098247442414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188946235262260020.post-82921076541143957802015-07-12T14:09:00.001-07:002015-07-12T14:09:08.550-07:00Reunited and it feels so goodWell, we are finally all back together again! After a wonderful weekend spending it with our host families, we reconvened in the city of Caesarea where we had the chance to tour a bit around the old Roman ruins, snorkel around an archeological site and then learn a bit of Israeli martial arts on the beach. What a fantastic day back together and tomorrow is another busy day with the Ba'hai Gardens in Haifa, meeting a Schindler's List Survivor and kite making in an artist colony.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.9400005340576px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When the bus pulled into the Gadna base camp, I turned to my friend and asked her whether or not she thought it would be too late for me to switch electives. Naturally, she laughed, but I was not joking. I was completely terrified to spend four days as a "member " of the IDF. As soon as I stepped off the bus, I was told to run to the basketball court. Our commanders immediately gave us uniforms and water bottles. From there, we brought our belongings to our very cramped rooms and once we got situated, we were given a tour of the base. Right before dinner, we met the person in charge of our commanders, who was a frail looking female who was also one of the most intimidating individuals I have ever met. On the second day, each team took classes on guns, because they were preparing us to shoot them on the final day. It was hard to stay awake because everyone was so exhausted, but it was crucial for us to understand everything they were teaching us, so we took a plethora of ice cream and energy drink breaks in between classes to ensure that we would stay awake. We woke up the next morning and had a field day. We were taught how to camouflage ourselves. We poured our water into the dirt to make mud, and we smothered it all over our faces. From there, we found random plants to put all over our uniforms. Our commander told us to hide, and so many of us did such a great job camouflaging that she could not even find us! Later that day, each team was given a mission to create a shelter where at least three people could hide, and they would have to escape it within 4 seconds in case a grenade was thrown at it. My team found a tree, sent three girls in, and then moved a dead tree in front of the entrance. The commanders analyzed our "project", along with the other two team. Later, the winners were announced, and my team won!' That night, we went on a masa, which can be translated to an excursion/journey. I was chosen, along with three other participants, to carry the gurney. We ran 3 km, with only 3 breaks in between. During one of the breaks, we were given an order to army crawl in between two places with around a 50 foot span. This was the most powerful event of my entire Gadna experience. Every time someone reached their destination, they would get up and cheer all of the other participants on. Without the help of the IST community, it would have been very difficult for many people to complete the mission. On the last day, we were finally brought to the shooting range. Every single one of the participants shot an M-16, which is a very large and powerful gun. In my opinion, it was terrifying. I am glad I was given the opportunity to shoot it though, because it really helped me imagine what it would be like if I were in the shoes of an actual IDF soldier. Throughout the 4 days in Gadna, each and every single participant became closer and formed powerful bonds. Everyone shared their positive attitude to help motivate their peers to continue working their hardest during the experience. I can now say that I am extremely happy that I signed up for Gadna, and I would not want to have missed out on one minute of it.</span></span></span><br />

I can't believe I have been here for 26 days. I have done so many incredible things that have truly changed my life but at the same time I feel nothing has been done. These past four days embarked on a truly extraordinary trip. I was lucky enough to hike 4 days from one side of Israel to the other. The trip was roughly 30 miles in the boiling sun and I couldn't have asked for a better 4 days. This hike taught me the meaning of perseverance, friendship, encouragement, and optimism. Through this hike I learned that achieving a goal that seemed nearly impossible is the most accomplishing feeling anyone can feel. I am so honored and proud to be able to say that at 17 years old I was able to hike across a country. The friends that I made on this trip weren't just new friends, they were friends I have known for years but yet this trip strengthened our bond and I truly feel like I met them all over again. During this hike one common conversation that was constantly being overheard was about ourselves. Nothing specific just us. Something that we feel is important to us. Something that no one else can say. These conversations, I discovered, got me through the hike and helped me push to the end. They showed me that people are different and not just different, they are nothing alike but yet so similar. NOt one person didn't have something to say about themselves. Whether it be family, life, career goals, ideology, sexuality, bowel movements, etc. it was something important to them and that was the best part of sea to sea for me.</span></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12734078098247442414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188946235262260020.post-83667193317011357492015-07-09T23:16:00.000-07:002015-07-09T23:16:25.749-07:00Time for Host Family Shabbat WeekendWell, the students were back together for less than 24 hours before now being spread around the country for our Host Family Weekend. They had a fantastic time on the Sea-to-Sea hike, community service and Gadna piece of our Electives week. We won't be posting again until Sunday after everyone is back together and students are able to post some blogs and reflect on their Electives Week and Host Family Weekend. We wish all of you an early Shabbat Shalom and is incredible how quickly this trip has gone. #ist2015 #lifechangingexperience<br />

Community Service worked with children with disabilities and visited children in the hospital to cheer them up, but we don't have many pictures since we're able to take pictures with the kids. <br />
<br />
The ISTers have challenged themselves in more ways that they could've imagined and we look forward to the entire group getting back together for a day before we split into our Host Family Weekend. Hope that you enjoy :)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Snorkeling in Eilat was an amazing experience. I've heard so many great things about Israel but one thing that's never been mentioned to me is the beautiful coral reefs that are here in Israel. I've been blessed with the opportunity to see many amazing reefs in places like Mexico, Belize, Hawaii, and the reefs in Eilat are definitely up to par. When we first dove in we saw a lot of beautiful sea creatures including rainbow fish, one of my favorite types of fish. It was such a cool experience that I'm so happy that we all had the opportunity to share</i>.</span></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Sea-to-Sea Hike</span></u></b></div>
<br />
Sea to Sea is a short trek in Israel, spanning from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sea of Galilee. It's usually a three or four days trip, which suggests a nice experience of the Upper Galilee. It is tradition to take a small bottle of water from one sea and dump it into the other. Another tradition is to dunk your head, or go swimming, in each sea.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 15px;">Statistics reveal that a quarter of Israel’s 7.7 million citizens (1.9 million people) are living in poverty; among them are some 850,000 hungry children. Yet, at the same time, literally hundreds of thousands of tons of perfectly good, nutritious food are needlessly destroyed each year. Furthermore,studies in Israel indicate that nearly a quarter of the country's population suffers from an imbalanced or insufficient diet due to poverty.</span></div>

Pitchon Lev extends a hand, together with devoted supporters and a network of volunteers, to disadvantaged people throughout Israel. Through Pitchon Lev’s Aid Centers food, clothes and shoes are distributed to needy families. Realizing that the future of Israeli society is embedded in today’s youth, Pitchon Lev established the educational program “Touching the Horizon”, aiming to provide youth with the tools and personal empowerment to break the cycle of poverty</span></span></div>

Gadna is an Israeli military program that prepares young people for military service in the Israel Defense Forces. It was established before the foundation of the State of Israel and was anchored in law in 1949. Today it is a one-week program of discipline and military training usually under commanders serving with the Nahal infantry brigade. Gadna hosts an estimated 19,000 Israeli youth annually, as well as numerous foreign youths</div>

<i><b>Blog post - Lena Novins-Montague</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Every Jew, no matter where they live, has a personal
relationship with Israel. For me, this relationship has always been laced with
sky high expectations. I've spent every summer since the fifth grade at Jewish
sleep away camp where I've been emphatically reminded by countless Israeli
staff members that Israel is the most beautiful country in the world, that
there is nothing like it, and that when I finally go, I will fall in love with
the country of my people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I have grown up in a home where pictures of Israel hang from
the walls and where dinner conversations often revolve around the complexities
of the Jewish state. In school, I have read news articles about violence and
tragedy and triumph in this country that I am somehow connected to, despite the
fact that I walked on Israeli earth for the first time about two weeks ago. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Israel, for better or for worse, is a part of the
folklore for any Jewish kid growing up. We grow up with the expectation that
someday we will return to this country and be dazzled by its beauty and its
sense of familiarity. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
This is why I was nervous that Israel could not possibly
reach the extremely high expectations I've unintentionally created for it over
the past seventeen years of anticipation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Our first day in Israel was preceded by a sleepless night
of flying. As I loaded my suitcase onto the bus, traded my American dollars for
colorful shekels, and grabbed an Israel phone, my sleep deprived mind wanted to
feel something. I wanted a sense of belonging or a swelling in my chest or some
confirmation that I was actually "home". <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
As the day progressed, I continued to wait for a feeling.
I had fun at the beach and scuttling through the water caves, but it-- whatever
it is- hadn't set in yet. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
As the day progressed and the heat intensified, I found
myself nervously waiting in line for the Kotel. Here I was, with back sweat
from my Camelback and a long skirt haphazardly yanked over my athletic shorts,
half awake, about to enter the most holy place on earth for the first time. <b style="font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Before entering, Elaun told us that every Jew, no matter
how secular or observant, is entitled to their place at the wall. He said that
we shouldn't be intimidated by the crowds or lack of empty spaces and that this
wall belongs to us as much as it belongs to any other Jew. As the guys and girls separated, I wondered if I was
breathing or walking or thinking right, however one is supposed to breathe or
walk or think at the holiest place on earth. I saw plastic white chairs filled with women praying,
some crying, some just staring at the wall. Like Elaun had alluded to, I saw a
crowd of women standing at the wall, with very little empty space, and for a
moment, I didn't feel entitled to my space.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I hung back and watched my friends wedge themselves into
spaces and press their foreheads against the wall. They looked like they
belonged. After a few minutes of staring at a bird that was sitting
comfortably on the wall, I saw an opening between two women and I walked into
it. For a moment I stared up at the wall and then I pressed my forehead to it,
because that's what everyone else was doing. And then I waited. Maybe for an epiphany or for God to
peek out from a crack in the wall and talk to me but mostly, just for a
feeling. Every now and then, I lifted my head to look up at the sheer vastness
of the wall or the notes precariously wedged in or at the plants that were
growing out from the wall. There was something comforting about the coolness of
the wall in contrast to the scorching Israeli summer day.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<i><b><o:p></o:p></b></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
After a few minutes of standing there, I sat down in a
white seat and read letters my parents and grandparents had written me, and
that was when I felt something. I thought about both of my grandmothers, my
mother, my sister, all the amazing women that came before me and the women with
me on that hot day and all of the women who will come after us, all the other
teenage girls who will come here sleep deprived with their Nike shorts making
weird indentations in their long skirts. There was no blinding white light and
God did not peek out from a crack and talk to me but I felt that sense of

in the United States for the Fourth of July. However, on this day more than
ever, I am proud to be an American. As I tour this beautiful country of Israel
and I observe the life that these people live, I express nothing but gratitude
towards the opportunities that I have both at home, and in this country. It is
astonishing to learn about and live the lives that these people live. In the
three short weeks that I have been here, there have been several missile and
terrorist attacks only miles away. The Israeli people live with ISIS as their
neighbors and that is something that leaves me speechless. I stood at the top
of the Golan Heights and learned about the civil war in Syria. I watched the
Lebanese border while a man told us that he had fought in four and half wars in
his lifetime. It is even more amazing to see the true strength and
dedication that these Jewish people have. I have learned to never be ashamed of
where I come from. I express nothing but gratitude for my life in America. I
have the freedom to live without the fear of a missile at my doorstep or a
terrorist attack. I live with the freedom to have an education, a beautiful
family, and equal opportunity. In this country, it is mandatory to serve in the
Israeli Defense Forces. </span></div>

It humbles me to know that I have willingly chosen to continue my
efforts to serve in the United States Military because this experience has
shown me that there truly is something to fight for. As the Israelis fight for
their home and their families, it gives me perspective on how blessed I am to
live in the United States of America and celebrate this magnificent day. I am
spending this Fourth of July in the Middle East and I am proud to celebrate my
freedom.</span><br />

We've got less than 2 weeks left on this trip. Three weeks gone faster than I ever expected. Israel is a country that surprises, astonishes, and inspires. From sunrises over sand & salt to extreme heat over lush olive groves, from desolate arid rock to pleasantly humid rivers, Israel amazes. It has taken my breath away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today we embark on our electives week -- 4 days of wandering, working or whining (good luck to those doing Gadna! Don't whine too much). I, for one, will be wandering. 65 kilometers of wandering give or take. From the Mediterranean to the Kinneret, I and 40 others will be trekking for 4 days. The idea is daunting. For most, if not all, it will be the longest hike yet undertaken. But for all, without a doubt, it will be as amazing as it is arduous. We will learn new things about ourselves, make new friendships -- because nothing brings people closer than sweat, soreness and a healthy dose of chutzpah - and above all, we'll see Israel from an entirely new light. I am beyond excited to begin this journey. Hi ho and away we go!! </div>

Today was very laid back with a wonderful hike down Mt Arbel and then learning about the Druze culture in Israel and touring the city of Peqi'in before heading to Akko for our 3rd Shabbat together. This Shabbat we will be at the Tunisian Synagogue which is a gorgeous orthodox synagogue and great for everyone to see this part of Judaism in Israel since the service will be all in Hebrew, men & women separated and some incredible mosaics all over the interior. <a href="http://www.akko.org.il/en/Old-Acree-Or-Torah-Synagogue" target="_blank">Click on this link to check out the synagogue</a><br />

<i>Israel has by far exceeded my expectations. Poland was very tough, but I think it was important to realize how amazing and how essential it is to have Israel. The desert experience is one that I will never forget. Not only am I so proud to have accomplished all that we did, but we did it in our homeland, in the land of our ancestors. I couldn't help but thinking of Jews for thousands of years walking around where we did. Yet the moment that has hit me the most was the Friday night Shabbat service we had at Kibbutz Keturah, which has an active conservative synagogue. There was a bat mitzvah the following morning and the family welcomed us into their evening service with open arms. What was so amazing was that even though I was halfway around the world from my home, I still could follow the service and knew almost every prayer. I think it showed me the power of prayer in Judaism. It is a link between Jews throughout the entire world. I am so excited to continue this adventure and see even more of Israel.</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peki’in is a story of harmony: a village where Christian Arabs, Druze and one ancient Jewish family have lived peacefully together for centuries. Peki’in was a farming village since the time of the Second Temple 2,000 years ago. Since that time only one Jewish family has stayed in place. Arab settlement in Peki’in started in the 11th century CE with Arab Christians who were joined a century later by Crusaders. In the 18th century Druze families moved into the village and another 10 Jewish families have moved there during the past few years.</div>

<br />
Today we had a wonderful easy bike ride in the Hula Valley followed visiting a kibbutz up north and then finished with rafting on the Jordan River! (Sorry no pix of the Jordan River since we weren't allowed to bring our cameras)<br />
<br />
It's amazing that we are finishing week #3 and have another much needed restful Shabbat which we will spend in Akko! <br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>IST Blog Post – Maya Frost-Belansky</b><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>After an emotionally draining week in Poland, we were all
eager to have some fun upon our arrival to Israel. The past week has been jam-packed with new
& exciting experiences. With all the amazing craziness that has been our
reality, our counselors and staff were correct in choosing tonight to provide
an opportunity for us to stop and smell the roses.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>We arrived at our Bedouin tent experience in the desert and
after some delicious food eaten with our hands, we got ready to go on a night
hike. The staff instructed us to walk in
complete silence. As we set out as a
group into the desert, I was astounded by how seriously every single person
adhered to maintaining silence. It felt
as though we, as a community of 73 individuals,, had made an unspoken agreement
to create a meaningful experience for ourselves. Walking silently through the desert, I was
struck by the shadows created by the receding lights of the tents behind
us. Though we moved separately and
independently, our shadow seemed to move as one, with each one in prefect
parallel. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Eventually when we reached our destination, we split off
from each other to sit and reflect in our own space in the valley in the
desert. The moment I sat down and
glanced up at the valley above me, I was overcome with an all-consuming feeling
of belonging. Those who stood above me
in the valley were silhouetted and thus unidentifiable. But somehow, it was in the anonymity that I
felt connected to a community that accepts one regardless of identifiable
characteristics. In other words, though
I was unable to name each individual silhouette, I felt more connected to the
IST community than I have so far on the trip.
</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>While I can only speak for myself, I am fairly certain that
I can say that most everyone in that valley knew in those moments of silence
that we are connected and bonded in an ineffable way. Perhaps it was the way the wind blew warmly
through the valley or just the after effects of eating too much food, but
whatever the cause, I can truly say that I experienced pure contentedness
sitting in our little valley. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The music from the guitar was our signal to regather and
without speaking or instruction, we formed a circle and sang together. For me, singing together arm-in-arm in our
little valley in the desert was far more meaningful than visiting concentration
camps and Holocaust memorials in regard to my Jewish responsibility and
identity. In that circle, I saw the
strength and vitality of the Jewish tradition more clearly than ever. When we sang the shehechiyanu, I knew we were singing not only to celebrate our
experience, but also to confirm our commitment to each other and to the greater
community as the next generation of Jews.
I think that it was nearly impossible to feel lonely in that circle because
we stood together as Jews and as friends to form a whole that is greater than
the sum of its parts in our little valley in the desert</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>

Well, the past 48 hours or so have been beyond busy and now that we have a decent Wifi signal, I wanted to update the blog with a plethora of pictures. <br />
<br />
On Sunday we woke up and the groups split into buses where one group had an ecological tour of Kibbutz Ketura and the other group went to the Chai Bar Animal Reserve to check out local wildlife. From there we drop north a bit where we went to a Bedouin Tent called Kfar Hanokdim. It isn't an authentic bedouin tent, but more for tourists and groups. Everyone had the chance to ride camels and then the group experience Bedouin hospitality, had a wonderful feast followed by a short night hike under the starry sky. <br />
<br />
We woke up extra early at 3:30am to leave the tent in order to drive to Massada and hike up to see the sunrise. We took the Roman Ramp up to the top and our entire group made it up there in under 15 minutes which was amazing. We witnessed a gorgeous sunrise followed by a tour of the ancient fortress.<br />
<br />
From there we went down the snake path and then some much needed nourishment. We then went to Ein Gedi where we took a short hike to the natural spring to become refrshed & rejuvenated. We then headed to Ein Bokek at the Dead Sea where most people put on mud, floated on the sea and just relaxed in the mineral laden water.<br />
<br />
We drove up north and crashed early for some much needed sleep. We woke up to head to the mystical city of Zefat where we learned about Kabbalah, saw some local artists and then ever popular shopping. We went over to a place called Kfar Kedem where everyone learned a bit about biblical times, make their own pita bread, rode donkeys and feasted on a delicious dinner.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we have another exciting day planned so keep an eye out for more updates...<br />

We joined them for a Shabbat service and many students recognized the same melodies as they sing back home and I'm sure the community appreciate an additional 80 voices singing together as one community.<br>
<br>
Today was a wonderfully relaxing day in the southern Negev! Most of us took advantage of the late wakeup to catch up on some much needed rest & relaxation. Many of us spent time at the pool, played ultimate frisbee or simply took a Shabbat nap. <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We had a tour of the kibbutz learning all about what they have to offer with their red algae (Algatechologies is a rapidly growing biotechnology company, specializing in the commercial cultivation of microalgae) as well as the Arava Institute - http://arava.org/. There we also learned about Methuselah which is a tree grown on the kibbutz from the seed of a date palm tree from 2,000 years ago that was found on the top of Massada</span> - <a href="http://arava.org/arava-research-centers/arava-center-for-sustainable-agriculture/methuselah/" target="_blank">http://arava.org/arava-research-centers/arava-center-for-sustainable-agriculture/methuselah/ </a><br>
<br>
We spent the night walking around Eilat and doing a little shopping and such since tomorrow is another busy day with an ecological tour of the area, a nature reserve and then up to the bedouin tent to ride camels & donkeys and have a hafla feast since we will be waking up early Monday morning to climb Massada.<br>

It's been an exhausting and exciting time and we are looking forward to a very restful & relaxing Shabbat at Kibbutz Ketura. Today we spent the day in Eilat doing water sports such as a type of banana boating, kayaking, paddling and then snorkeling. It was much needed after the couple days in the Negev desert! <br />
<br />
This year we also have a number of students who are going to try their best to observe Shabbat without using electronics, phones, turning on/off lights, etc. They wanted to challenge themselves for the 25 hours and experience what it entails to try and keep Shabbat. Tonight we are joining the Ketura community for services & dinner and I know that it'll be another special one.<br />
<br />
Below are some random pictures throughout the week so enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!!<br />

We have finished our amazing desert experience in Ramat HaNegev and now resting comfortably at Kibbutz Ketura in the Arava Valley. We hiked in the Negev Desert and to Ein HaKev. <a href="http://www.touristisrael.com/zin-valley-hike/13880/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to check out our hike<br />
<br />
On Tuesday morning we had the chance to explore some caves in Hirbet Midras and then onto an archaeological dig where many students found bits of pots, plate and even teeth from over 2,200 years ago.<br />
<br />
We then headed down to S'de Boker to visit Paula & David Ben-Gurion's grave and learn all about the vision that he had many years ago in the Negev. We then spent the next few days hiking and camping in the Negev desert by climbing up steep hills, cliffs, relaxing at an oasis, bedouin tent and finally at our last camp site. We all enjoyed the morning at the Neve Midbar spa showering, enjoying the jacuzzi & mineral pool and then had the chance to tour the Ramat HaNegev Regional Council building and see their new emergency room.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we are heading down to Eilat for some Banana Boating, snorkeling and returning to Kibbutz Ketura to join the community for a Shabbat service & dinner.<br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I would just like to start off by thanking Josh Samet and the entire staff for organizing this amazing trip. My personal first week in Poland was a little rough with somber days full of tours followed by mediocre meals at kosher delight; however, I could feel a sense of family starting to materialize. Everyone came together during our first week in Poland and helped each other through the tough times. During this time, I couldn't help but feel it building to Israel. The transition from Poland to Israel was especially meaningful for me. Our first day in the homeland was marked by a sunrise at the sea and a visit to the Kotel. For me personally that was an experience that is hard to put into words. I guess I have to try, it was overwhelming knowing the amount of Jewish history I was standing before, emotionally it was the first time I cried on our trip which surprised me due to our time in Poland. I cried because I felt free, for the first time in a week I felt like I was supposed to be there. Poland was uncomfortable, overbearing. Israel was (still is) liberating, as well as exciting. I couldn't be happier to be in my home and I am excited for new memories to come.</span><br />

We had a beautiful view of the valley and perfect weather!<br />
<br />
From there we went to Neot Kedumim which is another nature reserve where we learned about the land and had the chance to plant acorns in pots. This year, we weren't able to plant trees since this year is a <i><b>shmita </b></i>year. During <b><i>shmita</i></b>, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law). Other cultivation techniques (such as watering, fertilizing, weeding, spraying, trimming and mowing) may be performed as a preventative measure only, not to improve the growth of trees or other plants. Additionally, any fruits which grow of their own accord are deemed hefker (ownerless) and may be picked by anyone.<br />
<br />
We then ventured over to the Latrun Tank Museum. The Battles of Latrun were a series of military engagements between the Israel Defense Forces and the Jordanian Arab Legion on the outskirts of Latrun between 25 May and 18 July 1948, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Today, the battleground site has an Israeli military museum dedicated to the Israeli Armored Corps and a memorial to the Israeli War of Independence.<br />
<br />
Lastly, we finished in Lod where we visited the Denver Community Center where many of our Colorado families have donated to help fund this center for youth. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow we have a fantastic day planned with cave crawling, an archaeological dig and then we will be hiking & camping in the Negev desert so our next post won't be until Thursday!<br />

On Friday night, we all had a lovely Shabbat service together followed by dinner and an icebreaker. Shabbat couldn't come at a better time after an emotional and exhausting time in Poland. We all had the chance to catch up on sleep and much needed R & R. We had the pleasure to go into Jerusalem on Saturday night to walk up and down Ben Yehuda Street trying new foods, shopping, feeling the energy on the street and just enjoying every moment.</div>

Today we had an amazing tour of Mount Herzl (Har Herzl - which is Israel's "Arlington Cemetery"). We spent a few hours there learning about so many fallen warriors from Yoni Netanyahu on the raid at Entebbe in 1976 to Prime Ministers & leaders of government. Our guides Elaun & D'ror were incredible and providing such amazing stories and knowledge about this place and really enabled everyone to make a personal connection. </div>

We followed this by heading to the Old City and walked along the Ramparts Walk, toured the Jewish Quarter and then headed back to the hotel for dinner and hearing the dynamic & fantastic Neil Lazarus speak to our group. (If anyone has the chance to see him in person, I highly recommend it).</div>

We spent the final day in Warsaw seeing the Warsaw Cemetery, Umschlagplatz, Mila 18 Memorial, Rapaport Memorial and time with some Polish teens. Below is a post from a student on his experience in Poland:</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">We are currently on our way to Israel. After spending the past four days touring in both Krakau and Warsaw (three days in Krakau and one day in Warsaw) I have taken time on the plane to reflect on what I have experienced. Krakau at first was nothing special. It was an old city that didn't seem to have much life. The structures were old and it didn't seem to be very modernized. The "highlighted" part of Krakau was going to Auschwitz and Birkenau to truly experience what our people, as well as many others (many Poles as well as gypsies and homosexuals) experienced when they were brought, not by choice, to those camps. Our tour guide Élan told us while at Birkenau that we should take a moment aside from the sadness we feel for our people to be happy because we had the choice to walk through the front gates of the camp, and like a vast majority of people from the Holocaust didn't have, we have the freedom to walk back out. That truly put the camps into perspective for me because that made me take a step back from reality and think about what it must have felt like to be taken by train car to the camps. The following day we went to Majdanek where we witnessed a beautiful, yet powerful, memorial for those lost at Majdanek. The large stone structure which towered over our heads stood at the front of the camp in front of the gate. Past the memorial, the concentration camp appeared to continue on forever. The barracks were all standing in the same condition as they were close to 71 years ago. As we continued our tour, I felt as though the camp was still in such condition that there was a possibility for it being operational today. As we continued into the crematorium, this thought still lingered in my mind. As we approached the end of the tour at Majdanek, we all gathered around a mass grave with close to 17 tons of ashes from people murdered in the holocaust. We joined together in singing the Ha'Tikva which was a very powerful moment within our time in Poland. For our final day in Poland, spent in Warsaw, we experienced a massive cemetery that had thousands of Jews and Poles buried there in multiple layers of the earth. We continued the day visiting what was once the ghetto and has since then been knocked down and rebuilt, but still contains memorials on a few blocks. We left the ghetto after getting a tour of it from Élan then continued our day at a Polish high school where we got to talk with Polish teens. We had a question and answer session with them in the late afternoon and got to know all about Poland as well as being a teen there. It was truly amazing to compare life in America to the life of those two high school students from Poland. The similarities in life surprised me just because how alike our lives were to one another. We finished our time in Poland all together at dinner before heading to the airport that night. It was truly an experience that I will carry with me both in Israel as well as the rest of my life.</span><br />

Our day was full of so much with arriving in Israel at 3:30am, heading to Palmachim Beach south of Tel Aviv for the sunrise and time on the beach, heading to Jerusalem to go the Kotel (Western Wall - where the ISTers read their letters from home), Hass Promenade, Hezekiah's Tunnel and finishing at Maaleh HaHamisha for our first Shabbat in Israel!! </div>

On the way to Lublin, we stopped outside the village of Tarnow to visit <b style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Zbylitowska Góra </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">(information below</span><b style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">). </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">We had the chance to take some time on our own to contemplate everything that occurred there. Many of us just sat in deep thought, wrote in our journals or paid respect by simply being in silence.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After some time there, we drove 3 1/2 hours to Lublin where we visited the death camp of Majdanek. Walking around these hallowed grounds brought many emotions to everyone on the trip. We heard all about the history of this place and then walked through the showers, gas chambers, barracks, crematorium and finished at the memorial at the end where we had a ceremony and said the Kaddish all together in memory of the thousands that perished there.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow we are spending the day in Warsaw before heading to Israel. We may not have access to the internet until we get to Israel so may not be able to update the blog on Thursday..</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><b>Zbylitowska Góra </b>is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Tarnów, within Tarnów County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately 6 miles south-west of Tarnów and 44 miles east of the regional capital Kraków. It is the site of a mass grave from World War II, which is marked by a monument. In June 1942 approximately 10,000 people, including 6,000 Jews and about 800 children were executed by the Nazis, and buried in pits in the Buczyna forest in Zbylitowska Góra</span></span><br />

Although initially purposed for forced labor rather than extermination, the camp was used to kill people on an industrial scale during Operation Reinhard, the German plan to murder all Jews within their General Government territory of Poland. Due to the camp's proximity to Lublin, prisoners were able to communicate with the outside world through letters smuggled out by civilian workers who entered the camp</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span></span><br />

At Auschwitz-Birkenau alone, 1.1 million Jews were murdered along with so many others. We are processing everything that we have seen and know that tomorrow will also be tough seeing mass graves and Majdanek. <br />

Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself.

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me." - <i>Martin Niemoller</i></span></div>

We had over 200 people at DIA sending off 73 teens from DIA heading to Frankfurt and then to Krakow!! Our flights went extremely well and when we landed in Poland, we hit the ground running. We toured the Jewish Quarter of Krakow (Kazimierz) seeing a few synagogues, stores, etc and finished with seeing the outside of Schindler's Factory (which has been turned into a museum) and the Krakow Ghetto. Everyone is having a fantastic time, but internet is very spotty so will try to update everything tomorrow but may be a couple days...<br />
