Shabbat Bamidbar
Hebrew Heroes celebrating Yom Yerushalaim ✡
On Thursday, we were talking about Yom Yerushalaim, the importance of Jerusalem in the Jewish and Israeli culture and the significance of the Western Wall (Kotel).
We then moved to the art room and made our very own Kotel, with sponges, brushes and some paint :)
JYA Shabbat Lunch
This week we had a fun Shabbat lunch with 18 JYA guests! There were great conversations, good food and wonderful people ✨
Looking forward for more meals like that!
Yom Yerushalaim with Kadimah students
On Tuesday, we were talking with the students about Yom Yerushalaim (יום ירושלים) - Jerusalem Day. On Jerusalem Day, we celebrate the reunification of the city of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. This happened during the Six-Day war in 1967.
Before the war there were 20 years in which the Israelis could not go to the Old City, including the Western Wall - the Kotel.
During the Six-Day war, the Israeli army managed to liberate the eastern part of the city and reunite Jerusalem. This was a very exciting moment for all of Israel to be able to return to those holy and historical places.
Since then, every year we celebrate Jerusalem Day to remember this special moment and to be thankful that Jerusalem is in Israeli hands. On this day, we remember our deep and historical connection to this city, which is the heart of Israel and of the Jewish people.
According to the custom, we gave the students notes to write their wishes on and B”H we will take them all with us to the Western Wall in Jerusalem in August :)
Coming up next:
