Today the students had an opportunity to explore the streets of Tel Aviv through a scavenger hunt. American and Israeli students were divided into four teams and were given a set of instructions to get from one place to the next. They had to fulfill tasks such as finding an Israeli soldier or a set of twins in order to get to the next stop. It was a very interactive way for the students to learn about Israeli culture and to become familiar with the streets of Tel Aviv. Fridays are very special as the city prepares to welcome Shabbat. After the game was over, students had an opportunity to walk around Shenkin (similar to Melrose in LA), walk through the streets of Nachalat Binyamin, an open artists market only open on Fridays, and the Shuk Hacarmel (a typical Israeli market where spices and other typical Israeli foods can be found).
This will be the last post until next Sunday as students will spend Saturday with their Israeli host families.
Shabbat Shalom from Tel Aviv
