Never Forget
We began today by visiting arguably one of the most important sites in the State of Israel, Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Shoshana, an official museum tour guide, who led us on a truly humbling three hour tour of the museum. Following the completion of the tour, we had a group discussion overlooking Jerusalem about each of our personal experiences in this museum. Everyone had a different take away from the experience, but one thing was clear, we must never forget the atrocities that occurred.
After leaving the museum grounds we traveled to Tel Aviv, stopping at a mall on the way for some lunch and free time.
Once in Tel Aviv, we stopped at Rabin square, the site of former Prime Minister Yitzak Rabins assassination. It was very powerful. Following that quick stop, we went to our hotel for dinner and to get ready for a night out in the old city of Jaffa. This was our first night out in Israel and we were so excited to explore all that the city had to offer!
