Sderot and Moshav Netiv HaAsarah
Shalom! We have begun our adventure in Israel! Today we have made many explorations within the Israeli culture. We have tried many new foods native to Israel, such as shawarma and falafels. In addition to food, we visited the Gaza strip border located in the Western Negev, where we learned about the historical conflicts Israel had with bordering countries. Later on in the day, we went to the Moshav Netiv HaAsarah and discussed the struggles that the people living there face daily. To add some flare to our already fun-filled day, we painted over ceramic hamsas' to our liking. We wrote our wishes for Israel's future to add to the mosaic covering the wall that separates Gaza from Israel. On our way back, our tour guide told us about Israel's defense system, called the Iron Dome: a system that sensors incoming rockets and blasts them with their own rockets.
Soon we are going to celebrate Shabbat in Kibbutz Sde Boker, so hopefully we'll be able to post again soon. Until then, enjoy our photographs. L'hitraot!
