Today, I was the first Moshe (leader of the day) for a full day of programing. Early in the morning I set the tone by welcoming my fellow Hebrews and She-brews in a Ma'agal Boker (morning circle). Filled with the enthusiasm of my fellow fellows, we all were ready to begin the most amazing day of programing ever.
Steadfast, we started a mind-boggling scavenger hunt at Rabin Square. The scavenger hunt was called In Our Streets and it led us through the streets of Tel Aviv. We saw important spots like Dizengoff Street and Independence Hall. My team won, of course. The green team, with stomachs full of victorious chocolate, took away the gold. From there we visited Shuk ha Carmel… that place was tight. The majority of the clan ate our Pizur Lunch at Pasta Basta, a delicious pasta restaurant on the left hand side of the Shuk.
From there we went on to learn with Elliot of Bina, the Secular Yeshiva in Tel Aviv. Bina is located in South Tel Aviv adjacent to the Central Bus Station. Elliot, resident of Tel- Aviv, helped us challenge our ideals about immigration and immigrant rights. Inspired to overcome some of the setbacks set by misunderstood governmental policies, we began to shape our ideals towards helping the immigrants' social position and naturalization rights.
From there we visited the High School In Israel campus. We learned about a very elaborate program, which allows teens to explore Israel for six weeks while receiving a top notch education. We ended our amazing time with dinner at our beautiful hotel, followed by amazing and inspiring talk about the holocaust, preparing us for at Yad Vashem tomorrow.
