Back at school

 After having visited Hebrew Reali school in Haifa it was the most natural thing to go to the 1 LO Dzierżoniow. First we enjoyed some icebreakers, repeated - for example - the „How are You”-game in Hebrew and Polish. And then - we went to class: The schoolbuilding is very old, a 100 years for sure. But there was a special biology class prepared: We had the opportunity to dissect real hearts of chicken. That was cool. We had heart models to compare and microscopes to have a closer look at certain parts of the hearts.

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.

In the evening we eventually made it to Ejlat, ate supper and went to bed. But before going to sleep some...

He told us some information about the landmarks, historical places and unusual sights in Israel which we are going to visit. One of them was Kibbutz. Many Jews who came to Israel after the II WW they did not have any place to live. They set up their small communities. They resemble tiny towns or villages with amenities such as a hospital, a shop, a bank, a canteen, laundry, a diary. They even grow vegetables and keep farm animals. They are like one big family.    The first kibbutz - Deganja - founded in 1910, is located near the Lake of Tiberias in Galilee. Another well-known one named “Ghetto fightery,” was created in 1949 by Jews who had survived in Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw. The kibbutz our group visited was Ein Harod. We met there a mother-in-law of Mr Kfir (teacher from Israel)- ...

Who we are and what we do:

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.
