Day one - Monday, March 5th.
Today we went to the Pioneer
Settlement Museum at Kibbutz Yifat and took a singing, guided tour about the
first Zionsts that came to Israel. The tour guide made it very fun and
interesting to learn about this part history.
We met the Eyael Bezer, the head of the Jezreal Valley Council, and Ziva,
the director of the Central Galilee Partnership. Our next stop was Ort Rogozin
High School where we interacted with Israeli high school students. We compared and
contrasted American and Israeli everyday life.
As our day continued, we visited
Zippori National Park where we saw the remains of mosaic pieces, and castle
from the Roman times. We then visited an Organic Olive Press where we were got
to taste olive oil, and learn how it is made. Lastly, we met with Arab and
Jewish teenagers that were part of the Net@ program, an extra-curricular
program for Jewish and Muslim teens. We discussed how they can co-exist in
Israel.
