After a wonderful Shabbat in highland park  we woke up and davened a meaningful Shacharit knowing that we will be flying to Israel today. After breakfast we had a shark tank learning program. Each group created a business plan for different values we want to implement over the summer- for example, mindfulness, sensitivity, and positivity. Then we loaded up the buses and went to the Liberty Science Center and explored all of the interesting hands-on exhibits. Soon we were off to Dave and Busters for a fun arcade experience. We partied with Dance Dance Revolution and basketball shooting. We enjoyed a yummy dinner of American pizza (we’re gonna miss it!). The entire time we excitedly awaited for the moment when we would go to the airport. Finally we boarded the busses to go to the airport. Through tons of suitcases and EL AL questioning we made it through security and are waiting at the gate excited for our flight and amazing trip in Israel. JUST A FEW MORE HOURS!
