DAY 4

rescueisrael July 15, 2019

  Hi Mommy and Daddy, Shabbos Shacharis started early in the morning (as usual), and we had a very meaningful davening, with mussaf led by Yonatan, along with Birkat Kohanim from the Berners and yours truly. After davening, we got to hear stories from Hatzalah volunteers who joined us for Shabbos, and we learned that candy makes and excellent pacifier. We also spoke about what it means to work for Hatzalah first hand from these volunteers which was inspirational. We sang and danced at Shabbos lunch, and played long card games with Joshy-following in the afternoon were pretty fun. I especially enjoyed “Ask the Rabbi” with Rabbi Leshak, not only for the jokes and stories, but for the deep questions people asked too. During the afternoon, we split up into small group discussions with our advisors. My group only got through one card from the ‘moral dilemmas’ deck because we were so involved in the conversation and discussion. We davened mincha, after which we sang Shabbos away with TJJ Ambassadors and heard an inspiring speach from Rabbi Leshak again. Havdalah felt too soon because shabbos had been so amazing. After shabbos we went to Emek Refaim, where we hung out and got Pizza Hut. some of us walked around and got ice cream or went shopping at the makolet and then we returned to the hotel and got some sleep. More tomorrow, love Eli Rubin
