A Day of Learning (Posted by Eddie and Yarden (the WAH champion of Israel!))

Shalom from Netanya ! This morning we visited a kibbutz called Ein shemer, it was very interesting to see the museum about the history of the kibbutz. We also visited the cows and got to pet them!!! Later, we ate lunch at givat haviva which is a special place for gathering both Israelis and Arabs. Then we visited an Arab village where we were toured around and shown the green line which separates palestine and Israel . Here we spoke to a Palestinian man who works in israel under a work visa- he told us about his daily life, traveling from place to place which made us all feel the passion that he possesses to his work and famiy. He described the differences in pay between Palestine and Israel (Israel pays about twice as much). He described that his devotion and efforts allow his family to live a somewhat stable life in controversial time. That concluded our fascinating day and we can't wait for tomorrow.
