Israel Day 9

Today, we went to Gush Etzion for a Memorial Day Presentation and Ceremony. It was extremely moving. Israel does this right! America could learn a thing or two from our friends. I have written previously about Memorial Day, here.


                   




After the ceremony we were able to see inside a study area of a Yeshiva. It was so neat to watch all the boys study. (Picture of study area taken by fellow group member Peter.)












Next, we went to Hebron to see the burial place of Jacob, Leah, Isaac, Rebecca, Abraham, and Sarah and tradition also says Adam and Eve.



 

























After dinner we watched the Independence Day program in Gidon's room and walked around the bridge to see a celebration and fireworks.








Happy 70th Independence Day Israel!
