Who we are and what we do:

A living bridge Haifa-Dzierżoniów We are closer to each other than it may seem. We are pupils from Israel and Poland, from a small city in Lower Silesia, Dzierżoniów, and the third largest city of Israel, Haifa. We are all 16 to 18 years old. And after having met in Israel, we will meet in Poland in one month time. Looking into Jezreel Valley. Sara Har Wardi, introducing us to her Kibbutz. At Hebrew Reali School in Haifa. At the beach of Haifa. The exchange has been organised by Krzyżowa Foundation in cooperation with The Hebrew Reali School and I LO im. Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego . It has been cofinanced by the Polish Ministry of National Education .

HISTORY, DESERT AND THE PEOPLE

Wednesday started with a quick ''getting ready'' and packing up the bags as we were leaving the hostel in Haifa to travel to the south of the country. Our first stop was in the holocaust museum Yad Vashem , where a tour guide was waiting for us. It was one of the most interesting tours we could probably imagine as well as one of the most depressing. Most of us couldn't hold the tears when we got to the memorial dedicated to the childen killed during the Shoah. Then we went to Jerusalem but we didn't get a chance to walk into the acient city because of some serious weather issues. We just got some quick photos of the unbelievably beautiful view of the town. The rest of the day we spent in the coach traveling through the Negev desert and running away from the storm and once more we stopped to take some pictures of an amazing wonder of nature. In the evening we eventually made it to Ejlat, ate supper and went to bed. But before going to sleep some...

Hanukkah! Lighting the candles in Wrocław

Since Hanukkah week was during our meeting in Poland the candles were lighted every evening. The day we were in Wroc ław we went to the synagogue, where the candles were lighted publicly. It was a special atmosphere, standing in front of the Stork synagogue, where one by one the first three candles were lit. Then Hanukkah songs were sung and danced. Afterwards we met the Rabbi ' s wife, who actually was from Israel, living in Poland for two years by now and she would talk with us (in Polish and Hebrew) for more than an hour. It was very interesting to listen to her story.
