Program Updates

Your children arrived safely today and they seem a wonderful group and I'm really looking forward to getting to know them well. 

We started our programme right away. Since today was Holocaust Day, we held a Memorial Ceremony at a Monument just outside Jerusalem. 
(http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/אנדרטת_מגילת_האש ) Following this, we had a nice dinner at the hostel where they are staying in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem and discussed our programme and plans during their stay here in Israel and they told us of their hopes and expectations from the visit.

Together with my family, I am spending this Shabbat with them and am looking forward to it very much.

I'll be sending more pictures and update next week.
