Beit Issie Shapiro, Temple Judea's sister school in Ra'anana, by Carly
As our last activity together in Israel, we went to Beit Issie Shapiro. Little did some of us know that we have been helping Beit Issie Shapiro since we were in preschool at Temple Judea. When we got there, we learned about how the school was founded, and then split into two groups to tour the school. Two of our favorite rooms were the white Gymboree and the dark room. It really brought out our childish sides. During the tour, we got to go outside and play with the kids that go to school there. It was truly an eye opening experience for all of us. After we left we went to the first handicapped accessible park in Israel. It was very fun because the park had a lot of things in it that we don't normally have at our parks. It was great to see how parents and kids can interact with each other even if one has a disability. All in all it was a great way to spend our last day together.
What a wonderful day! Little did you know as a pre-schooler at Temple Judea those of you who were there that your little bike-a-thon you did was to raise money for Beit Issie Shapiro!!! Things sure come full circle! What a great way to end your journey in Israel!!!
