Visiting the Old City

Tonight as we lit the sixth candle, Rabbi Steve asked the participants to share a "spark" from the day. Here were some of what was said (Rabbi Phyllis took notes!):

When we stood on the rooftops of the Old City, Rabbi Steve taught us that we were standing at the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle  of the middle of the whole world.

Pride in where we come from
Koved - honor

Don't leave packages unattended

We return to jerusalem

It's hard not to understand history in a different way when you're here

Always remember that you're not a tourist. You're a pilgrim. The tourist goes through the land. The pilgrim lets the land go through you. 

It's such a good feeling to be with so many Jews. 


This is a second home that is always here for us. 

And that was just the second day!
