This morning we ill visit Israel's memorial and museum for the Holocaust (Yad Vashem). The impact of the Holocaust (Shoah) on Israeli society will become evident through the development of different elements of this unique memorial since its establishment in the 1950's. The museum will give a detailed account of the history of the Holocaust (Shoah), ending up in the powerful Hall of Names. After lunch, we will participate in a volunteer project at a local ecological community garden as an act of repairing the world (Tikkun Olam).
This project emphasizes the important Jewish value of affirming which will counterbalance the exposure to death and destruction that we will experience at Yad Vashem. We will have a dinner at the hotel and a summary discussion before enjoying an evening out in Jerusalem.
