Dear NCSY JSU TJJ NY Family,

The crew is back together again and it was amazing to see the excitement amongst the teens and with the staff in the morning.

Our visit to Jerusalem was meaningful and powerful as we began with a lookout over the entire Old City and Temple Mount. As we worked our way closer to the Western Wall, we spoke and learned about our connection to the land and specifically Zion.

As the teens descended towards the Western Wall, we discussed lessons of empowerment and connection to our roots and our history.

After a water walk through an ancient water system,  we returned to our hotel and had dinner as well as a debrief of the day.

We are all so excited to have reached Jerusalem!
