Day 2

Day 2: 

On the 2nd day of our Tribe Israel journey, we began the ascent towards becoming better jews and gaining further understanding of Israel. This was accomplished by visiting King Herrod's aqueduct in Caesarea to learn about Israel's unique history and how Judaism is the culture that remains today and ancient Rome is now history.

Next we experienced a powerful and life-changing team-building course where we learnt a lot about ourselves and each others' strengths and how they can be implemented into our lives. We learnt about Israel and what it means to Israelis today and how their connection to Israel as Jews is so strong.

Afterwards, we went to the dialogue in the dark museum where we attempted to comprehend how difficult life is for blind people and how privileged we are that simple everyday necessities are easily accomplished by us whereas for them, these are their biggest daily challenges. However, we will always remember the spiritual  words of the tour guide Reut, that blind people are the same as us. This translates as any people other than ourselves, perhaps a different race or nationality, and we must treat them as we would like to be treated.
