Israel has celebrated its independence each year since its creation in 1948. This year is its 67th year of independence. Each year a selected artist creates a picture to represent a certain part of Israel and its independence. One picture in particular stood out to our group, the picture from 1977. This picture shows a skyline of Jerusalem and a white dove with an olive branch flying over the city with several other figures and shapes on top of a red fabric. This picture in particular stood out to us because it manifested on the of the three main points of Israeli Independence: Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the Jewish nation (Jews in Israel and throughout the rest of the world). It also showed the majesty and beauty of Jerusalem as a city; and the white dove represents the eternal peace over our capital city.
ARTEL 2015
Just Do It
Coming here to Shabbaton was just an unreal experience. Everyone was just so friendly and welcoming. Some of us can even say that it felt like a second home. Our bunks were comfortable. We all bonded in numerous ways and came together as a family. We're happy that these are the people I will be spending 2 weeks abroad with. Johnathan and Alanna are amazing counselors. They kept us busy and kept us having fun the entire time. We can't forget Emily too. Emily always had something
My friends made the high ropes course at the ARTEL Shabbaton a lot of fun. I thought I would hate the heights. I realize now that there was nothing to worry about if my friends are behind me.
