Day 8: Yad V'Shem and the Shook

January 17th- Day 8

We started off the day on a bit of a depressing note, as we started at Yad V'Shem, the Israeli Holocaust Museum. It was beautifully done and very moving. We ended our time at the site by listening to a testimony by an actual Holocaust survivor. He was the first survivor I've ever seen who had the numbers tattooed on his arm.

After the museum, we had a tearful goodbye with the soldiers as they left to return home for Shabbat.

Then, we headed to the shook, the infamous market in Jerusalem. We ate some delicious falafel and did a lot of shopping. We then headed back to the hotel to prepare for Shabbat and set to work on our Shabbat-o-grams for the Oneg. We did candle lighting and dinner.



The Shook














We reconvened for Oneg Shabbat and swapped lots of food and goodies. We ended the night early so that we could hang out and be well rested for our last weekend in Israel :(
