Yerushalayim Shel Zahav

To the beautiful song, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, we "went up"/alinu to Jerusalem. Our first stop was a visit to Yad Lakashish, an organization that helps the elderly to keep busy by involving them in arts and crafts. We then explored the Jewish Quarter. 
Nikbat Hashiloach, also known as Hezekiah's Tunnel, is a water tunnel that was carved underneath the City of David in Jerusalem in ancient times. Equipped with flashlights, the students waded through the water of the dark tunnels. We then explored Minharot Hakotel, the excavated Kotel tunnels. Exhausted we ended our busy and amazing day at the hostel.
