Israel Update from Simi Barr

Simi Barr:
“We had a lot of fun today. We first went to a seminar on co-existence—Jews and Arabs-- and we got to talk to Israeli Arab teens. This was really cool because we saw how much they are like us. We then went to a Druze home and learned about the Druze religion and had home hospitality and lunch. We went to Akko and saw the prison used by the British. In Akko we had free time in the open market. It was really cool and I am having a fun time on the trip.”
