Dear NCSY TJJ Bus 3 Family,

Today, Tuesday, was a very meaningful day as we had an opportunity to see Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem!!

Our day in Jerusalem began with our first visit to the Kotel!! For many of us this was the first time that we have ever been to the Kotel and it was a very meaningful and powerful experience to be at the very center of Jewish History.  Following that we made our way to the City of David where we rediscovered biblical Jerusalem and learned about some of the most significant archaeological finds ever. The City of David culminated in walking through Hizkiyahu’s Aqueduct and learning how it saved the city. After a long day of touring we had some free time and dinner that was a delicious BBQ and Gan Sachar where we enjoyed the outdoors while having a chance to relax!

Please remember to be in touch with your teenager and confirm that they know their free weekend plans. If they are not coming on the NCSY Shabbaton please double check that they know who their hosts are and how big of a responsibility and privilege this weekend is. We have reached out to each host already to confirm as well.

Looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

Best,

Rabbi Yitz
