Last Day | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Last Day

By Tahis

I cannot put into the words how amazing this trip has been. The sleepless and hot days have been worth every moment. I have learned more than I ever imagined learning about this beautiful country.

The people of Israel are so brave and wise beyond their years; the conflict with the surrounding countries is so real and present, yet they are so united and keep such a positive outlook of what the future will hold.

I am beyond grateful to have been given this opportunity to come on Birthright Israel with Shorashim and explore this amazing country. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime and am so appreciative of the Israeli participants that have been with us on our trip who I now call friends.

Today we ended our trip at the the Military Cemetary and it was so unsettling to see how young the soldiers that fight for this country were and how similar they were to us in so many ways.

I have nothing but admiration for the young Israeli soldiers that risk their lives in order for the Jewish people  to have a place to call home, a place I consider home.
