  “Today was an incredible day! 足球外围平台一开始就去了一个考古挖掘地点, where everyone was able to experience the excavation of the ancient city Morasha. 在地下找到东西，并成为超过2年时间里第一个触摸它的人，感觉不可思议,000 years. After that, 足球外围平台有机会去洞穴爬行，从洞穴里的小洞里挤过去，感受地下古城的生活. It was a messy experience but one that was so much fun and extremely interesting. 之后，足球外围平台生了一堆火，煮了一些皮托管. It was a great chance to get your hand dirty and be a part of the group. 它是如此特别，每个人都有自己的工作和个人的目标在一个更大的复杂的过程. 此外，它们尝起来相当美味! 接下来，足球外围平台在当地的购物中心度过了一些空闲时间，在那里足球外围平台买了一些东西，为家人和朋友买了纪念品. 足球外围平台还吃了美味的零食，彼此之间也很亲密. Lastly, we enjoyed dinner and celebrated our last full day in Israel.”

  Another busy day on Naale! Maya wrote all about it: 

   

  “今天对足球外围平台来说是非常激动人心的一天. 足球外围平台先坐了两个小时的巴士去死海. After the Dead Sea, we went to Ein Gedi to eat lunch and go on a short hike. 在漫长的一天之后，足球外围平台回到Argon度过了一个放松的夜晚.
  
  

  "On our way down to the Dead Sea, 足球外围平台中的许多人都在午睡或欣赏风景，如山脉和美丽的海水. 足球外围平台一到那儿，就很快地游到水里. 足球外围平台中的许多人喜欢漂浮，喜欢和朋友们一起出去玩. 漂浮了一段时间之后, 足球外围平台把自己裹在泥里，在沙子里放松，然后回到巴士上，坐一小段车去艾因格迪. 

  Ein Gedi is a beautiful nature reserve where we all went on a fun hike. The hike had multiple waterfalls along the way which we enjoyed playing in. Seeing all the wonderful waterfalls and nature on the hike made it very enjoyable for everyone. We davened Mincha at the ancient synagogue of Ein Gedi and made our way back to Jerusalem.”

  10月30日周日的Arielle反思:

   

  “今天是充满乐趣的一天，让足球外围平台痛苦地意识到过去发生过的真正困难的问题，同时通过庆祝两位同学的生日和学习足球外围平台在以色列有幸体验的新文化来展望未来.
  
  

  We started the day at the center of where so many lost Jewish souls are preserved ; Yad Vashem. This was an especially meaningful experience to me as in 2020 when I had my Bat Mitzvah, 我很荣幸地与两个在大屠杀中丧生的小男孩一起度过了这个特别的日子:伊斯雷尔·阿里尔, 和摩西·阿莎通过犹太人大屠杀项目. There, 足球外围平台可以在更深的层面上联系，通过看到那些在大屠杀中被夺走生命的人的个人物品，来倾听他们的个人故事, names, and pictures. After this, we went to another extremely important site in Israel, Har Herzl. 赫茨尔是现代犹太复国主义之父，也是足球外围平台今天可以把这片美丽的土地称为以色列的原因，它是所有犹太人的安全天堂. Unfortunately, Herzl passed away before he could see his dream to fruition but today, 他将永远安息在他梦想的土地上, and toiled away for. 

   

  足球外围平台继续去做赫茨尔想要做的事情，参观了我所见过的最精致的公园之一，在愉快地回顾了足球外围平台小学时代的愉快记忆之后, we did something that would make the forefather of Israel even more proud, 足球外围平台在以色列议会大楼前向马里夫祈祷，希望能有一位有能力的新领导人在即将到来的选举中获胜. 

   

  对那些试图摧毁犹太民族却未能成功的人进行最好的报复的主题再次在足球外围平台繁荣国家的街道上庆祝，足球外围平台都享受着在《足球外围平台》中找到的所有美食. The day came to an end with celebrating Garcie and Henry’s birthday. We played classic Israeli party games leaving us all excited to see what tomorrow will bring.”

• Shabbat, October 28-29

  Brandon wrote about Shabbat: 

   

  “On Shabbat, we got the opportunity to relax and take a break from our action-packed schedule. We started off being able to choose from two different Shuls one was Shira Chadasha and Zion. 我去了Shira Chadasha，玩得很开心. 犹太书没有固定的拉比, men and women led together and it was a service run by the community. 去锡安的朋友告诉我，他们玩得很开心，还见证了以色列的成人礼.
  
  

  After we came back from shul, we had a lot of time to relax and enjoy our Shabbat. Some of my friends and I went to a park across the street from Agron, 足球外围平台在操场上玩，在公园里玩. 去公园是一个很好的机会，让足球外围平台远离电子产品，享受以色列. 那天晚些时候，足球外围平台都聚集在一起庆祝哈夫达拉节. 足球外围平台站成一圈，一起唱歌，结束了足球外围平台的安息日. Once Shabbat was over, we had the opportunity to go to Ben Yehuda street and get dinner. My friends and I got shawarma, in the middle of Ben Yehuda Street there was a rally for Israel. 看到以色列各地的人都来支持我，我觉得很酷.
  
  

  总而言之，安息日是一个很好的方式来忘记一切，只是给自己一些时间.”

• 拉比丹尼·内文斯对纳勒的反思

  每次我十几岁的时候去以色列旅行——我去过很多次, 从1983年我在拉玛研讨会上的经历开始——有一首歌可以定义我的经历. 足球外围平台的Naale学生在他们的Spotify巴士列表上放了很多歌曲, 我很喜欢了解他们的音乐, 但我最感兴趣的是足球外围平台的以色列工作人员演奏的一个, החיים שלנו תותים, “Our Life is Strawberries.哈南·本·阿里列举了一系列生活中的困难经历, and then says, but really, “there is no right to complain, our life is strawberries.” By which he means, there are just so many blessings, and he proceeds to list some of them. 

   

  和Naale在一起的6天，我也有同样的感觉, starting at Newark Airport, 即将进入圣城耶路撒冷的安息日. 是的，有些事情是很难的，因为足球外围平台的学生要补觉和适应这种经历. Yet there are so many blessings each day, it is hard to notice them all. 我非常感谢我的同事梅拉夫·卡鲁什拉比和罗布·卡恩拉比为这次旅行所做的非凡计划, 还有足球外围平台全体教职员工的奉献精神, Ms. Michelle Pierce and Ms. Leah Jankoski, both of whom are visiting Israel for the first time. We also have four wonderful young Israeli staff who bring good cheer, enthusiasm, 以及对团队的巨大耐心. 我尤其要感谢那些家庭，他们把这29名九年级学生培养成热爱做犹太人的人, 他们优先考虑在果阿邦接受犹太教育. 

   

  For the first day or two it seemed that this group was going to be extremely quiet, even shy, 但我想他们大部分都累坏了. With each successive day they grow more inquisitive and more responsive. The program has been incredibly active—Rob Kahn likes to keep his groups hiking, 足球外围平台每天都要走好几个小时. We hiked in gorgeous settings up north such as the Banias, Tel Dan, and Mt. Arbel, feeling the splash of waterfalls, 当足球外围平台走下陡峭的悬崖时，足球外围平台凝视着Kinneret海. We have rafted on the Jordan, 在呼拉谷自然保护区骑自行车, and ridden donkeys while wearing the costume of ancient Jews in Kfar Kedem. 一路上会有一些颠簸和擦伤——足球外围平台中没有人习惯日复一日地这么活跃——但谢天谢地，每个人都没事, and rightfully proud of themselves for trying new and challenging experiences. 

   

  今天早上足球外围平台步行去了耶路撒冷老城, and as always, 经过雅法门时，我发现自己情绪激动. 足球外围平台带着孩子们穿过亚美尼亚人和犹太人的聚居区，终于看到了圣殿山. 学生们有时间接近Kotel, to caress its stones, and to put prayers of petition or thanksgiving in its ancient cracks. 然后足球外围平台走到“Ezrat Yisrael”平台，在那里你可以看到挡土墙的原始地面, the rubble left by the Romans, 想象一下足球外围平台的祖先来到这个神圣的地方祈祷, just as we were doing. Several students, boys and girls, 自愿帮我主持祷告, and we paid special attention to the paragraphs that mention Jerusalem. Because Rabbi Kahn is a kohen, we said the priestly benediction the way it is done daily here in Jerusalem, 我感到一种强烈的祝福感笼罩着足球外围平台的团队.

   

  太阳已经西沉了, 足球外围平台很快就会看到它把老城墙变成金色, and we welcome Shabbat. 明天会有祷告选项, 还有时间休息，享受相聚在这里的祝福. 而我将在周日离开小组, I feel enormous gratitude for the chance to share this holy experience with them. 生活真的充满了草莓!

   

  Shabbat shalom,

   

  Rabbi Danny Nevins, Jerusalem

  Simeon shares his experience: 

   

  “On our second day of our adventure, we were out and active all day. 足球外围平台先起床(有些人晚了一点)，然后吃早餐, and walked to tfilla, 这是为Rosh Chodesh特制的tfilla. 在tfilla之后，足球外围平台庆祝了Shaya的生日，(Shaya生日快乐!)然后足球外围平台跳上了去泰尔丹的公共汽车.

   

  At Tel Dan, 足球外围平台回顾了历史上的重要片段, 通过观察旧的祭祀区域, entrances of cities, 还有前国王的宝座. 
  
  然后足球外围平台乘另一辆公共汽车去骑自行车. 一些人骑自行车，另一些人坐高尔夫球车.  足球外围平台骑自行车时停了好几个站.  The first top we took we visited a beautiful pier, saw fish, and took amazing pictures. On the second stop, we reviewed animals that we saw and took a little break. Everyone finished where they started, the bike ride was very nice and peaceful.”

  “It's only day one of Na'ale and our grade is already having a blast! After breakfast, we went on a beautiful hike and learned about the history connected to the banias, focusing on the Greek God Pan. 然后，足球外围平台沿着约旦河漂流，玩得很开心. 足球外围平台沿着一些有趣的激流划了下来，和足球外围平台的团队唱了有趣的歌曲. 
  
  

  Next, 足球外围平台花时间在基布兹玩游戏，增进感情, talking, 参观基布兹(小)市场. 足球外围平台以Rosh Chodesh minchah服务结束了足球外围平台的一天，迫不及待地期待明天的冒险。”.

• 周日，10月23日-周一，10月25日

  大约19:30抵达加朵基布兹后(晚上7:30), the focus was to make sure all students had dinner and are settled in their rooms. 希望他们现在已经睡着了. 这是漫长的两天，他们一直很耐心, cooperative and over all happy at the airport very hectic airport and a long packed flight.
