On Tour with Ashleigh and Morgan July 4

Friday, July 4th:Group 8 began their day in the Majdanek concentration camp just outside the city of Lublin. One of the most interesting and shocking parts of the camp is that much of it is still intact, and therefore gave the group a full image of what it looked like in the 1940s. Also, the group was extremely moved by the barrack full of shoes, and walked through quietly trying to imagine the people who filled them. After lunch they began the drive to Krakow where they will spend Shabbat. Tonight the group will daven Kabbalat Shabbat in their hotel, and eat dinner with July 4th related decorations. Tomorrow Group 8 will join USY groups 9 and 10 for services at the Temple Synagogue. The rest of the day will be spent relaxing, learning Pirkei Avot , and spending time together. Shabbat Shalom!
