Bear Travels to Israel!

Rabbi Truboff hanging with our bear along with Michael Hyman the JCC executive Director at Masada.  The black line denotes below is what they originally found and above is what has been reconstructed.

Our bear with Ari Golub, The Mandel JCC' Director of Children and Day Camping talking to a metal worker, Mandel JCC to Yad LaKashish, Lifeline for the Elderly.  Yad LaKashish gives hundreds of Jerusalem's neediest elderly a sense of purpose and self- worth through creative work opportunities, essential support services and a warm community environment.  The tzedakah money from Shabbaton ( the week I left) was donated here.

Our bear is learning about a memorial for the fallen soldiers found inside the Jewish Quarter of the Old City from the war for Independence.

Enjoying the Views!!!!!

Bear enjoyed a delicious lunch and latte at a favorite Israeli restaurant called cafe cafe.  This cafe cafe was in beit shean.

Bear Celebrates Passover!

The Davidson's family Bear attended a 2nd Seder at our friend's house and he was very happy to see a familiar face.  Even if our friend was wearing Pharoah's hat!  And when we said "NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM"  Our bear was thrilled to add - NEXT MONTH in JERUSALEM!  Stay tuned for our bear's journey to the Promised Land beginning April 8th!
