Week 2 task-Orit and Shani (to Tim)

Hello Tim,
How are you?
We read your letter, and we would like to know how the life in Florida is.
You are a very interesting boy, and we think we have a lot in common.
The tour we had to Yad Va'shem Holocaust site and Mount Herzl:
Yad Va'shem Holocaust - museum that commemorate the Holocaust.
Mount Herzl- The national cemetery of Israel, buried the leaders of the Zionists movement, and the leaders of Israel country.
We saw monuments of people who sacrificed their life for Israel (in Mount Herzl), and trees that symbolize the Righteous Gentiles (in Yad Va'shem). And we saw statues of important people.
The connection between the 2 sites is that in the trail of the Holocaust people understood that the only solution to the Jews is a country of Jews.
The interesting part in the tour was reconstruction of a train wagon, by it the Germans delivered Jews to the death camp.
The tour was very exciting and sad. It was a learning experience.

  1. Hi. Tim is not here today so we are going to tell you what life is like in Florida. First of all, it is very hot here. The winter temperatures drop to about 50 degrees F, and in the summer it can reach a hot and humid 100 degress F. There are no mountains here, but there are great beaches. The sand is very soft and white. The water is beautiful. Where we live there are not a lot of waves, but on the other side of Florida, about 4 hours away, you can surf. We live about 2 hours away from Walt Disney World, and all of the other theme parks that are in Orlando. Busch Gardens is only 40 minutes away. There are a lot of roller coasters there. There is also a great zoo there and you can actually play tug of war with a tiger. Tim will respond next week.
    Sincerely, Brian, Ryan, Michael, Michaella, Ashley and Tom
