Yom Yisrael: Honoring Israel

Our special program to celebrate and honor Israel this Thursday was so fun and informative! We went to different activities to learn about and celebrate different parts of Israel. There was a mini Kotel (Western Wall) where we wrote special notes, and a coloring and puzzle station. We played “3 sticks,” a classic Israeli jumping game, and we tried to make the Jordan river flow all the way to Yam Hamelach (the Sea of Salt). We used a giant map of Israel to locate and learn about so many cool places in Israel. As we celebrated, Israeli music played in the background, and we all used as much as Hebrew as possible. Yom Yisrael Sameach (Happy Israel Day)!!
