Saturday in Jerusalem

Today MBI continued celebrating Shabbat in Jerusalem. They opened the day by getting to know their new kvutzot better (each bus is organized into two kvutzot|groups). Thn they participated in special Shabbat chuggim (interest groups).

One of the really awesome chuggim was photography:




After lunch, we got into our kvutzot to discuss how kupa works on MBI and how we want to use kupa to shape MBI into a great experience for all.

Then we headed out of the hostel for a little more sight-seeing and to learn more about Jerusalem's landmarks and history. 


This is Alon, one of our tour guides from Hanoar Haoved (Habonim's sister movement in Israel), going over Jerusalem's complexities and providing an update on the current situation in Israel:



Lastly, they headed back to the hostel for dinner, havdallah, and musicale (a musical talent show). Here's Tali, from Habonim Dror Australia, leading Bus 1 through Jerusalem:



Tomorrow we're going to the Old City and the Kotel for the first time!
