Tuesday, 18.10.22 (Day 7)

Our Tuesday started with an early bus ride to Berlin. Arriving in the rainy capital, we picked up our guide, who gave us a 2 hour tour of Berlin, which was very informative, interesting and educational. 

 


Afterwards we visited the Jewish Museum Berlin, which gave us an insight into the history of the Jews in Germany.

Then we walked as a group back to the bus, which took us to BER airport, where the Israelis were to start their journey home. After a short but warm farewell, we drove back to Dresden, full of anticipation for our own trip to Isreal.

On our last day in Jerusalem, the first activity was a tour through the old city with a stop at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A lot of people were there, so it was quite difficult to stay together as a group, but nobody got lost.   Next, we were driven to the Feste Massada, which is a castle ruin on the top of a big rock in the middle of a desert-like nowhere. Therefore, in the past it was quite easy to defend. There is a popular story about old habitants, who rather wanted to die in freedom then live as slaves of the Romans.    After this hot, yet interesting experience, we've been driven to a beach at the Dead Sea calles Newe Midbar.    At the end of this wonderful day we happily returned to our host families.

  On Friday the German delegation went separately to Jerusalem. First we visited the memorial Yad Vashem there. The exhibition and the guided tour were very impressive and we had to think a lot about this exhibition in the following days.   When we arrived at our hotel, we directly had a workshop by Kids4Peace, where we learned how political work with children looks like in the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict.  Afterwards we could move into our rooms and had some free time in the city before we went on an evening hike through Jerusalem after dinner. We walked through the Old City of Jerusalem and spotted the narrow streets to the Western Wall.

  It was hard for us to say goodbye to Israel on the last day. We met again all together in front of the school and took some group photos before we had to say goodbye to the Israelis and get on the bus.   The time in Israel was breathtaking and unique. We experienced so many great things in a very short time, met so many nice people and had unique experiences that we will all never forget. At the airport, a tear or two flowed and we were all very exhausted but happy when we were lying in our beds late in the evening.
