At Terezin the teens learn about different forms of resistance against the Nazis practiced by the Jews in the Terezin Ghetto concentration camp. There was spiritual resistance practiced in the secret Synagogue. There was educational resistance practiced by Rabbi Leo...
These first few days in Europe have been like nothing I have experienced before. Despite the large amount of time spent traveling by both bus and plane, we have been able to learn and experience some Jewish history in very meaningful ways. In Prague, we witnessed different kinds of synagogues as vibrant and decorative or concealed and personal.
After over a full day of traveling through various airports all across Europe, we finally arrived in Prague around midnight on the 26th. As the plane descended, we had the privilege of getting a beautiful aerial view of the city. There were massive fields of wheat and large sections of trees covering the ground below us; a stark contrast from the scenery of American cities.
This summer we look forward to welcoming hundreds of teens to Israel on our programs and to providing them with a wonderful summer adventure full of fun, friendship and personal discovery.
