What an amazing group! It was a real treat to have seen students in action... finding out why the Frank Sinatra Cafe at Hebrew U was named after the famous singer, tasting the very best pistachio baklava that the Jewish quarter had to offer, practicing a few words in Hebrew with the program's faculty director - this is the stuff that memories are made of. Of course (and more importantly!) there was the program curriculum and its site visits, too... an introduction to Israeli politics and society, the archaeology and history of Jerusalem, the Western Wall, Temple Mount, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, etc... Looking forward to hearing more about what this group gets up to in the next 5 weeks. Enjoy the photos, and thanks for letting me tag along! - Rebecca
