Today Tisha B’Av, so it was a sad day but a good day. At night, we sat down and talked about all the major events in history that were tragedies for the Jews and spoke about what things we can work on to bring more light into the world. After a late wake up, we prayed in the morning, and read different stories about the Jewish people. We then had free time which allowed for the communication with advisors and such. Some people went to the Gush Katif museum to learn about the controversial event, while others saw sad movies about the day. Later, we went to see a great view and then went out for a great meal to break fast and went back to the hotel. Overall, it was a very peaceful day.
