Synagogue Har-El, Jerusalem |
After arriving back at the hotel, some of us took a Hebrew Writers guided walking tour through the streets of Jerusalem in the afternoon. We used the writings of Jerusalem's poets and authors including Yehuda Amichai and S.Y. Agnon who wrote, "One does not travel to Jerusalem, one returns."
With a free evening, Robin and I walked to Ben Yehuda Street where we met my cousin from Baltimore who was attending his junior year of high school in Israel. He shared a number of stories with us about his unbelievable experiences thus far and we happily rewarded him with delicious schwarma from Moshiko's. After dinner we walked Ben Yehuda Street in an effort of stimulating the Israeli economy with several purchases for our respective families.
