Today we began with an art workshop during which we painted rocks from Yerucham to take home with us. This gave us not only a fun souvenier to take home but also taught us that all stones can turn into gems and these stones will remind us of the unforgettable memories that we have made here.After the art workshop we went to bake Moroccan bread for Shabbat. Each Diller got to fill their bread with their choice of many tasty sweet or savory flavors. It was delicious!
After baking and eating, we had some free time to share with our families before Shabbat and then we all met up to watch a beautiful sunset over Yerucham. When we started eating dinner we learned that even though we all celebrate Shabbat differently, we were all with our loved ones and friends! When dinner finished, we joined walked to Israeli Diller teen Roni Biton's house. Her father, Michael Biton, is the mayor of Yerucham. Michael and his family treated us to some delicious dessert and led us in a conversation that made us all think about our Jewish identity and what makes us all so unique and connected at the same time. It was amazing to think about and was a perfect conclusion to the night.
