DAY 5: Present Day Changemakers July 6, 2017
Storyteller of the day: Leah Good
On July 7th the cohort woke up excited to make our way to Jerusalem. We left the kibbutz and headed straight to Tel Sheva for the Bat Hamidbar Workshop. We heard from an incredible Bedouin woman who told us her story of how she pursued her unique accomplishments of becoming educated and starting her own business. Not only were we inspired by her independence and determination, but we also got to have lots of fun and make our own natural all purpose rosemary oil! From the amazing workshop we went to Be'er Sheva for a delicious lunch at the Ringelblum cafe. Not only was the food absolutely amazing, but we got to support an amazing cause as the restaurant hires and supports unprivileged youth in the community. Our next site was Mt. Herzl which was moving and educational. We got to learn about past leaders and inspiring soldiers who all dedicated their lives to the State of Israel. We luckily had some extra time and got to make a quick stop at Machaneh Yehudah (the market) where we got to explore and buy all sorts of souvenirs and food! After a quick dinner at the hotel, we then met up with the cohort from San Francisco and heard from Ziv Shilon, a wounded IDF soldier who inspired us with his dedication and positive outlook. Overall, the day was packed, informative and inspiring!
