Israel Seminar Does Yad Vashem and Mt. Herzl

Looking for a Wednesday morning pick-me-up? Try going to Yad Vashem! Today’s Israel Seminar focused on civil religion and examining how Israel handles the topic of all topics…(dun dun dun)…the Holocaust. We’re not exactly sure how to write a top 5 about the Holocaust, so let’s just say it was very interesting to look at this period in history from an analytical viewpoint, instead of an emotional one. And also, it was really weird sitting in a cafeteria to eat a meal at a Holocaust museum.

Today we had an official Israel Seminar Tiyul to Tel Aviv. Here’s our Top 5: 1. Paul inviting random Israelis to join our conversation about Amos Oz 2. Learning in Rabin Square 3. Visiting the Trumpeldor Cemetery, full of famous people that helped create Israel (Dizengoff, Bialik, etc.), and imagining the realtor’s pitch for selling the apartments that overlook the cemetery. 4. The video we watched about Meir Dizengoff and the establishment of Tel Aviv. Most likely produced in 1985 (maybe 1974) 5. Spending class time on the beach
