Today also begins the final week of MBI! The focus of this week is on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as a Hadracha (leadership) seminar, preparing them to go back to their communities and be Jewish leaders!
During the day the MBIers went on a tour of Haifa and learned about Arab-Jewish relations in that city. Specifically we highlighted times that Jewish and Arab leadership chose to stand together in times of conflict.
This evening the MBIers enjoyed a traditional Druze dinner, yum! I heard word they ate until they couldn't imagine eating any more. Following the meal, they learned about the Druze people through a talk given by the women who run the restaurant. The MBIers asked lots of questions about Druze religion, history, worldview and achievements.
Do you have a picture with Ava (from Galil) when you celebrated her birthday?
