Left over from yesterday

Hello Everyone,

I was just too wiped out last night to take the time to add any pictures. So here are a few from our trip to Jerusalem:

At Vad Yashem....a garden of trees to honor non-Jews who risked or gave their lives attempting to save Jewish people during the Holocaust.

The entrance to the Children's Memorial in honor of the 1.5 million children that were murdered in the Holocaust.

If any of my teacher colleagues are reading this, our guide at Vad Yashem emphasised repeatedly that their website has endless amounts of resources for those that teach about the Holocaust.

Our delegation honoring Theodore Hertzel. A beautiful ritual in the Jewish culture is to place a stone on the gravestone of the person you are visiting. It is a sign that people have come to remember and honor and it can not wither away as can a plant or a flower.
