Students got a good walking tour of the city on Shabbat as they visited several synagogues in the morning, getting a taste of how a culture shapes its synagogue.
The afternoon was reserved for resting, but as evening approached, the students were roused to visit a neighborhood youth organization. There, students mingled with one another and played introduction games to learn about the differences and similarities between each other.
When the sun went down, the students did what many other Israelis do after Shabbat --they headed out. A nearby bowling alley chock full of people who also wanted to socialize after a long day of respite was the destination. The night ended with a birthday cake for Zack Bitan, thanks to his parents who organized the mini-celebration.
