Last hours in the airport.

This is Aaron, and I’m writing here from Ben Gurion Airport. All the kids are doing our last shopping before we board the plane, and the anxiety is starting. The teachers are, for the most part, focused on getting us onto the flight on time. The kids are focused on buying that one last bag of Bisli, Bamba, or other candies. As we prepare to board we’ve all been thinking back on our time in Israel. Our time in Israel truly has been a historical, and very emotional rollercoaster, taking us from the ancient history of Israel, through the Land of Israel’s establishment all the way up to modern times. We’ve gone through the saddest days in Israel, with Yom HaZikaron and Yad Va’Shem, and back up to the happiest moments with Yom Ha’atzmaut and Shabbat at the Kotel. The saying our guide told us, that stuck with me the most throughout in Israel, was that Israel is a bipolar society; mourning the loss of their loved ones one night, and celebrating their country in the streets the night after. For the last time, from Israel. -Aaron
