Traveling North






-In the morning we met with Col. Miri Eisen and heard about her role as spokesperson for Israel and the challenges of that role. 
-After we then boarded our bus to depart Tel Aviv but we had one last stop at Rabin Square to learn about Rabin's life and legacy. 
-Our next stop was the small town of Zichron Yaacov where we learned about the challenges of pre-state Israel.  
-We continued heading North to the city of Haifa where we met with the Mayor of this port city, Yona Yahav and learned about coexistence of Arab and Jew in this incredibly beautiful city that is too infrequently left off many tourist's itineraries. 
At the end of the day we found ourselves checked in to our small hotel in Tzfat and picked up to have dinner by our Israeli hosts. Our next update will be later tonight about our day in Tzfat, Rosh Pina and Hatzor.
