Noam on Seminar ~ Summer 2014 Summer 2014 | Page 21

As Shabbat approaches we are happy to send you this update and overview of our day today. Every Kvutza visited the Israel Museum and the Big Bambu' interactive sculpture. The hanichim who took part in the Jerusalem Etgar program served as the guides and resources for their kvutzot, as they enjoyed a guided tour on Tuesday, and were able to point their haverim to the areas of the museum they found most compelling, including Modern Israeli Art, Jewish Life, the Second Temple Jerusalem Model, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Children's Exhibits, the Archaeology Exhibit, the Sculpture Garden, and much more. At some time during the day, in the context of our great desire to contribute and take an active role in what is now transpiring in Israel, the groups took part in the following activities: Kvutzat Agnon and Kvutzat Amichai visited the Mega Supermarket and Rami Levy Supermarket, and collected food and dry goods donations from Erev Shabbat shoppers. The donations will be sent to soldiers as well as to families in need from the communities surrounding Gaza. July 26 Shavuah tov! I thought you ought to know: at Shirah Chadashah today, I saw Gordon and Dina (and gave them big hugs) and the entire Malkus family. Also I finished my book so that's cool We're off for the next day--climbing Masada and sleeping with the Bedouins. 21
