Nadav And Ofer Week 4
Hi Andrew,
We liked to read your comment, but you didn't answer what Call Of Duty you are playing.
I (Nadav) didn't do anything last summer because I cannot go to work and make money.
I was at home most of the time but I went to many swimming pools and more.
I was alone in house sometimes with my brothers when they came back from the army.
And Ofer did the same things like me.
The special thing is the vacations abroad I (Nadav) went to Holland and Ofer went to the USA and stayed there a month.
We are going to work and get some money in this vacation.
It was fun to talk with you and we will be happy if you keep talking with us.

There we slid down in a lot of water slides. We had a good time.
We were also in Eilat. There we swam in the pool and in the sea. We were in the walkway and there we did shopping. We also were in the IMAX, a film theater in 3D.
It's special because it's very big and it looks real.

Hello Brandon,
The Western Wall is a very interesting place.
The Western Wall is part of the Temple Structure of King Shlomo.
The Western Wall is the remnant of a wall supported the Temple Mount was built at the end of the Second Temple period.
Length is 57 meters and height 19 meters, but the full length of the Western Wall reaches -488 meters and height is estimated at -32 meters
We like this place because it is very important place in Israel.

Week Two Annael and Roni (to Gabriela)
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 !

Chase , we all like guitar. Which guitar do you play? And what music do you like?

And like you we hate math too (everybody does!?)
Yad Va'shem is a museum that is a memorialization the Holocaust. You can see there pictures and things from the Holocaust. It's very interesting. We saw there a room for all the kids who died in the holocaust. Its very special room because there's only 5 candles but there's a lots of mirrors and they make it look like there's a million candles (each candle commemorates every kid). The intresting site was a tree stem in which Jewish people were hiding during the war. This sites are very important and very moving.
Mount Herzl is cemetery for very important persons like presidents , soldiers , prime ministers and of course herzl - prophet of the State. In mount Herzl we saw tombs of important people. The connection between mount Herzl is the change between the two ages the holocaust and the independence of Israel. The most interesting was the tomb of Herzl .

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.

My family like the holiday Hanukkah because we light candles and eat donut.
My bar mitzvah celebrated big event with all my friends and family.
Yours Ido.
We read your letter about yourself it was very interesting.
Ido wasn't in Yad Va'shem tour because he has a problem with his foot.
The two places we were in are mount Herzel and yad va'shem. We saw the grave of Herzl and train of partizn. The connection between the two places is both talk about the holocaust and Herzel he dreamed about the state of Israel. In mount Herzel we have a lot of soldiers and president of Israel. In Yad Va'shem we have a museum about the holocaust.
The influenced part in the tour is the Herzel tomb because we learned about him in the class.
I think this sites is very important to the Jewish history.
The Jewish holiday I like is purim. because people to another people dress up or a famous people my family celebrate him in Tel-Aviv every year we go to my uncles.
My family celebrate my bar mitzvah in my increase in the torah and than we go to restaurant.
Yours Ofek.

Week One From Florida

Dearest Students in Israel:
I am thrilled that my students are being offered this exciting opportunity! Every one of my students (all 53 of them) wanted to participate, so I had each of them fill out a questionnaire, answering this week’s topics. After careful consideration I have chosen the following responses. We hope you know that there is a group of students in Florida that are anxiously awaiting your reply and your friendship.
Best Regards,
Lora Duncan
