Israel Winter Seminar - December 25, 2014

Hey Parents, 

We started off our day today by going to an army base 5 minutes outside of Yerucham.  At the army base we participated in a shooting simulator which all soldiers go through before fighting in the fields. We then toured the base where we spoke with Golani soldiers and saw armored vehicles. These vehicles weigh 65 tons and safely transport soldiers in and out of combat. We were then treated to an extravagant breakfast at the Yerucham teen club, Machsan 52. After the breakfast we heard from IDF air force pilot, Ido Frumer, who spoke to us about morals and ethics when fighting in the IDF. We then visited the statue in Yerucham that commemorates both soldiers and civilians that were killed in action. Lastly, we enjoyed a couple of hours of Cohort bonding through games and sports. Throughout the day we learned the true hardship that Israeli teenagers go through when joining the army. And we got end the night by going to a white night party with all the teens in Yerucham.
