Hello Gabriela!
The tour we had to Yad Va'shem Holocaust site and Mount Herzl was very interesting and different but very difficult.
Yad Va'shem is a holocaust Museum. There you learn about what happened to the Jews in the world war 2 by the Nazis.
Mount Herzl is a huge mount named after the person who dreamed about the state of Israel – Benjamin Herzl and there he is buried. More, in the mount there is a cemetery of all the important people In the history of the state of Israel. For example : prime ministers and soldiers in the army, who died in all the Israeli wars.
We were in the cemetery, we cried a lot because we know that all these people died for us and for our country . Part of us learned about the history of our family in the holocaust.
The connection between the two sites is that two of the sites are the past of the Jewish people and the Mount is the future too. They make us remember and never forget what happen to our nation.
The part that influenced us the most was the mount, because still soldiers die in wars, and there buried our school graduates .
We think visiting these sites is very important ,because you need to learn about our history.
Our favorite Jewish holiday is Purim!
Purim is celebrated because a bad man , in the Persian Empire wanted to kill the Jews in the empire and we finally saved.
It is celebrated in the way that all the people wear costumes to school and work.
Purim is celebrated in Adar month [ march].
We Like this holiday because there is no school !
