Day 4, Saturday April 14th: Shabbat in Jerusalem

A few more photos from last night and a lovely blog post from Bayla and Ruby:

Shalom from Jerusalem! This morning we had a late wake up. Once we woke up, we got dressed, ate and prayed in different synagogues. There were Orthodox and Conservative synagogues which were either Sephardic or Ashkenazi. After we visited the synagogues, we went back to the hotel to change and eat lunch. After lunch, we had free time then got together and walked to nearby Independence Park. At the park we played soccer, frisbee, taki, and cards. We ate snacks, talked, and laughed. After we came back from the park, we ate dinner and had havdalah. We got our phones back and went to the rooms to pack our bags for hotel checkout tomorrow morning.  Then at around 9 pm, we went to the Mamilla mall and walked around for about 30 minutes. Then we walked to the Western Wall and walked through the ancient tunnels that are over 2000 years old!! WOW! We got back to the hotel around 12:30 am. We had a mega blast. Bye for now!
