Shabbos in Yerushalayim - YKTH 5779 - Volume 10

Details

Description

As Shabbos came in, we headed down to the Kosel HaMaaravi. Everyone felt the emotion of the moment, as the golden stones of the last remaining wall of the Beis HaMikdash came into view in the setting sun. The bochurim gathered their chairs in a circle and sang together seder nigunim, with Jews of all backgrounds and types gathering around to join.

The next day, on Shabbos afternoon, we enjoyed an afternoon walking tour around the old city of Yerushalayim, with our knowledgable tour guides showing us remains from as far back as the first Beis HaMikdash, to Shuls and buildings from the last few centuries.

Motzei Shabbos we enjoyed Melave Malka, heard a presentation from Yossi Frenkel about his work in Emergency Medical Response teams and Zaka. And then, just when we all thought the day was over adn it was time for bed, the head counselor announced a surprise trip to the Old City, where many bochurim took the opportunity to enjoy a delicious crepe or iced coffee. Then, it was time to call it a day, for real.
