On The Bus....
On The Bus....
Shalom. We had a wonderful day in Jerusalem. First stop the Haas Prominade for a magnificent view of Jerusalem. Then to the Old City and the Western Wall, followed by the Herzl Museum, a lesson from our in house Herzl expert, Aaron, and a visit to the children's memorial at Yad V' Shem. On Wednesday, we heard and saw the amazing story of the bullet factory, visited Independence Hall and Rabin Square. Our students are happy, communicate in Hebrew and consistently show off their knowledge of Israeli heroes.

The first two days of our journey have been filled with wonderful experiences at school and in our host homes. Here are a few pictures at the petting zoo, during the welcome ceremony and around school. The bulletin board at school has pictures of the entire 6th Grade from VBS Day School including the teachers. Shabbat Shalom.
