Mega Event & More

Nicole Motta

Despite our short time here in Israel, we've learned so much - from the origin of Kaballah and the history of Rabin Square to what makes a Jew, Jewish.

We started Tuesday in Tel Aviv, exploring in learning about Rabin Square. We split into groups and, hesitantly at first, set off to ask Israelis in the area how the assassination affected them. Surprisingly, most were extremely open about their experience, even Ori's mom!

We ended the day with the Birthright Israel Mega Event. Participants from seven countries - Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Uruguay, the United States, and Israel - all gathered together for one massive concert and party. The Mega Event truly was a culmination of all we have learned thus far and much more. Despite our differences (and not everyone knowing the words to the songs), we were all connected by our common culture, our birthright.

Shalom!
