"I felt at home even though I was in a different country. I felt comfortable with people I had just met only five days ago."

"The sunrise from the top of the mountain was more legendary than any of Barney Stinson's charades."

I never realized how influential Rabin was in the war of independence and the role he played during the siege of Jerusalem. He was such an important Israeli General and politician.

So far, the trip has been amazing and I am excited for the next few days, yet sad it is coming to an end.

"I cannot speak for all the members on our trip because seeing the Western Wall is a different experience for everybody, but leaving a note and standing face-to-face with one of the holiest landmarks of Judaism was remarkable."

After the discussion we finally entered the square where the Western Wall is located. It was such a powerful sight to see not only all the Bar/Bat Mitzvah trips, but also all the people that were there for a chance to touch the wall for even a second.

Check out what we've been up to in Israel so far!

"Yad Vashem was an experience that leaves you speechless. So many emotions, so much to be grateful for. #NeverForget"

"The "iced coffee" here is basically coffee ice cream disguised as caffeine. We haven't gained the freshman 15 yet, but after all the falafel and magnum bars, I'm sure we'll be well on our way."

My favorite day was when we went to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The wall made me feel so proud to be a Jew. Not only did it make me proud, but it made me closer to all my friends on the trip.
