Day 6! Can't believe Birthright is halfway over.
In the morning we were in Jaffa; met 7 soldiers who are now apart of our group, experienced the Jaffa Flea Market- where we got yummy Israeli food, and explored.
After we went to Rabin Square, and learned more about the city, history etc... Then we took part of a scavenger hunt around Tel Aviv (and drank yummy smoothies).
Next we experienced Nachalat Binyamin pedestrian mall. I met up with a friend who made Aliyah (moved to Israel) and is in the IDF (Israel Defense Force). He took me to a great restruant; we had shukukah, hummus, pita, and Israeli salad (SO GOOD).
Afterward, we rode back to the hotel to (shower) prepare for Shabbat.
Lit Shabbat candles and then went outside. In Jerusalem, when Shabbat arrives, an alarm sounds throughout Jerusalem, signifying the start of Shabbat. Our group was in a circle together taking in all the sounds and smells of Shabbat (very powerful moment).
Next was Shabbat services; dinner, followed by an oneg.
Day 7: Shabbat and Ben-Yehuda street
