Hello TJJ JSU Parents,
We are lucky to have spent a full day exploring all Jerusalem has to offer! We started off in the historic City of David, built around 2,000 years ago by King David himself. Our Lions splashed around Hizkiyahu’s water tunnels, a key element in outlasting the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem over 2500 years ago. After coming out of the tight tunnels, we made our way into the Old City, where the teens had some free time to shop, eat, and explore the enchanting alleyways of the Jewish Quarter. We went down to the Kotel Plaza for round two of tunnels, but this time, we did the Kotel Tunnel Tours and saw the impressive architecture and infrastructure of the Temple era that is now a few stories beneath the ground! Finally, back at the hotel, we had the organization Stand With Us join us for a crash course in how to defend Israel on college campuses. What an amazing day in Yerushalayim, and we can’t wait for Yom NCSY tomorrow!
Rabbi Avi Warman
