Wednesday, February 25 – Jewish Quarter and Western Wall Tunnels

Shalom,
It is hard to imagine that this is the final day of CAARI 2015! It has been a wonderful experience for

the past 6 1/2 weeks. We have enjoyed and been rewarded with our work in the schools, rehab center, Botanical Gardens and JNF forests. We have traveled the country from the Galilee to Eilat – saw traditional tourist sites and so many places that are off -the beaten track that gave us incite into the lives of Israelis – like Sderot, Alexander Muss School, lunch at a Druse Village, a restored German Templar, tour of the i24 news station and so much more. Our speakers spoke on the many current issues that are in the daily news. We viewed a wonderful documentary by Yael Katzir. And, we did this with a terrific group of people!

Susan and Neil planned the last day in the Jewish Quarter where we visited the Kotel, toured the amazing Western Wall Tunnels and ended our tour in the Jewish Quarter, surrounded by the history of the Jewish People!

Wishing all a wonderful year

Li’hitriot! Next year with CAARI 2016 , from January 11 – February 25 with program options!
