Yesterday’s recap:
The Baltimore teens spent the day by themselves and went to Tel Aviv & Jaffa. They began their journey at Kikar Rabin. Zach Cardin gave some background on Rabin and his memorial. The teens went on “our streets” which is a scavenger hunt around Tel Aviv that led them through the city. They ended at Independence Hall where were given money to buy their own lunch on Shenken street. After lunch they headed to Jaffa. On the way to Jaffa, Carly Geller and Zach Cardin, the chanichim toranim shared some trivia and fun facts about Jaffa. They started with free time to explore Jaffa and shop at the flea market. After their free time, Ronen led the group through a tour of Jaffa and afterwards they had a wonderful dinner in Jaffa and then headed back to Ashkelon. The teens enjoyed their day together and it was nice for them to regroup since it was their first time reconnecting within their own group since they arrived in Ashkelon on Sunday.
Today’s recap:
The teens got started early in the morning with a surprise activity on the beach. The teens had a sand castle competition. Check out the great pictures of their day at http://picasaweb.google.com/nikirose/Photos15JulyBeachKrembo?feat=email#
After their competition, they ate a delicious breakfast and then went back with their Ashkelon friends for a free morning and afternoon. The teens met in the late afternoon at Park Baltimore, where the teens met members of the Jewish Federations of North America’s Campaign Chairs and Directors Mission which included Linda Hurwitz (AJ’s mom!)!
The teens spent the early evening volunteering with Wings of Crembo which is a special needs program in Ashkelon.
After they finished with Wings of Crembo, they had a check-in circle and then headed to volunteer with gmach, which is an organization that puts together and delivers Shabbat food packages for lower income residents in Ashkelon.
