Longest. Best. Israel. Seminar. Day. Ever.

If you ever need to know how to get through a 12-hour day without Dave Mendelsson, just come ask us…we have first hand experience. And we’re not bitter at all.

Here is Molly and Bess’s Top 5 of Israel Seminar Day:

1. Starting off the day at Shorashim with Marc Rosenstein talking about Arab-Jewish relations in the Galilee. We’re hoping to get a shout-out in next week’s 10 Minutes of Torah…what else would he write in his diary?!

2. Meeting with Iman Kadah, a 21-year old religious Muslim woman from the Galilee. Iman has 16 older brothers and sisters (17 babies in 25 years…talk about population growth)

3. Most of our class ate a delicious lunch together prepared by Kamla Musa.  We say most of the class because Molly was exiled to another room with those classmates who chose to bring their own lunches.  In other news, Bess ate her weight in grape leaves.

4. Going to Zippori and seeing where Mary (that lady that gave birth to that nice Jewish boy, Jesus) was born.
