First of all, I forgot to mention that in these seminar weekends i gained for sure 1kilo:D unfortunately, but we, all the participants got the best treatment, the best food and the best COOCKIES:) TOO MANY!! but none of us complained:)Secondly, definetely Jerusalem is a city who has a loooot to offer: a bunch of weird but amazing places, explorable areas and also mistical and spiritual spots all around. You can find urself, walking on some small streets, bumping in really nice and good restaurants, plus...here u wont be dissapointed so easy by the food u buy.
But getting back to the point, 2nd weekend with BFL again in Jerusalem made us be social workers, asking for TZDAKA =charity in the shuk (the free market).
We asked for free products (like vegetables, coockies, fruits, sugar, cans, bread, everything that was possible to be offered) to the sales men, for Shabat( for the friday meal for jewish poor families in Jerusalem). After 2hours we collected a looot of food and we brought it to a special center and they delivered it to those family in need.
Moreover, in this same seminar, besides the usual workshops and lectures we had, we were asked to do also an Accessibility Tour - a tour where 5 pple among us experienced how is half hour of life in a wheelchair...We were explained what are the difficulties pple in wheelchair bump into and also what improvments the city needs in order that some things to be easier handled for these people.
Jumping to another topic, i had the chance to see and to talk with Moshe Ya'alon, former IDF Chief of staff. Currently a distinguished Fellow at the Shalem center Institute for International and Middle East Studies. He held several command positions in teh IDF Paratroop Brigade and in Elite units.
