Tel Aviv

For our final tiyul, we went to Tel Aviv and had a blast. Our first stop was to the Independence Hall where we actually sat in the very same room where David Ben Gurion declared Israel's independence. We heard the story, saw the invitation, and even sang Hatikva along with the recording of the Hatikvah that was sung in 1948.
After that, we walked around Yafo, went to the shuk,
and chilled on the beach.

The next day, we went to The Blind Musuem. That was really cool. We were led through several rooms in total darkness, by someone who was blind. It felt funny and even a little scary at times, but it really gave us a sense of what it is like to be blind.

At lunch, we were visited with Rabbi and Rebbetzin Hain. That was a very special treat.

After lunch, we went to Machon Ayalon where we saw where there was an underground bullet factory from the time of the Brittish mandate. It was really cool.


Shabbat Shalom!
