Day 1: July 1, 2019

Day 1 in Israel, by Zach Aldouby


     After a long flight, we arrived in Israel at 6:15 AM, ready to face a full day of programming. We held a small opening ceremony at a park in Tel Aviv, and then headed to our first activity: Mayumana. Mayumana is a combination of rhythmic dance and music and proved to be a challenge for most the group. However, through dedication and teamwork, we persevered and managed to stay on beat for a while (minus a few fellows). Of course, all of that dancing made us hungry, so we headed to Jaffa for some lunch and shopping. After some incredible falafel, we all went to the blind museum (Dialogue in the Dark), a place meant to simulate the lives of the visually impaired. It turned out to be a great learning experience for everyone, as we got the chance to “see” the world from a different perspective.
