My Most Meaningful Experience Participating In The Israel Delegation

The most meaningful part of the delegation for me was...

"Spending the afternoons with my new Israeli friends, and learning about each other."  Eli

"The Western Wall in Jerusalem, because I had learned so much about Jerusalem and then got to be there." Adam

"Seeing Ori after her visit to VBS, and meeting her family." Natalie

"Seeing people praying at the Western Wall, and having an opportunity to pray at the Western Wall." Miriam 

"Visiting Independence Hall, and learning about the history of the establishment of the state." Daniel

"The moment we landed, because I had so much anticipation to see what we have been learning about for years." Ethan

"The Western Wall because I felt like I was a part of history."  Ben

"Masada, and the Roman Camps there because it is so ancient and represents the courage of the Jews." Amelia 

"The Western Wall, because after so many years of studying and seeing pictures, I got to be at such a meaningful place."  Jack 

"Floating in the Dead Sea."  Eliyah
