We got a vivid taste of Jerusalem today. After a filling breakfast, we had the privilege of visiting Mt. Herzl alongside two tour guides and an armed medic. The tour guide helped us visualize the agonizing grief that all of Israel feels when another if its brothers falls. The melancholy yet humbling experience left us Dillers with a larger sense of gratitude and inspiration to take initiative as Jewish leaders. 
After the tour of the cemetery, we drove to the Old City of Jerusalem where we enjoyed yummy schwarma. We then proceeded to our favorite part of Jerusalem, the Western Wall. We have never felt more thankful and blessed to be standing at the Kotel, the most important symbol of the Jewish struggle. Later, we rode back to the Caesar Hotel and had a lovely Shabbat dinner followed by games and programming led by our tour guides and Diller staff. Overall, today was an educational and fulfilling day. Love and miss you. See you soon!
