Shabbat in Ashkelon by Rob Monfred

The whole community week in Ashkelon has been unbelievable, but Shabbat was even more special. Some went to the famous chocolate bar restaurant in Tel Aviv called Max Brenner, others went to Cinema City in Rishon Letzion, while the majority spent Friday night at their host homes for huge buffet of food from schnitzel to cous cous and Saturday on the pretty beaches. The city of Ashkelon lights up on Shabbat. Most places close down and people either stay at home with their friends and family or hit the Marina for some fun time swimming and relaxing. As the trip winds down, everyone seems to cherish every last moment with their Ashkelonian counterparts. Personally after hanging on the beach all day and eating one pound burgers with all my friends, I realized how important the Ashkemore connection is and how much I will miss being here.
