Email from The Jewish Agency for Hanoar Hatzioni:
The children are really happy, enjoying themselves and looking forward to Shabbat.
They are aware of the current situation and are being updated by their madrichim on a daily base. During the updates the madrichim are sensitive to their age and situation and we would like to ask you when speaking to your children to also bear this in mind.
Today the 3 Israelis chanichim joined the group in Jerusalem. Those 3 are coming from the western Galilee and they were glad to join the group.
Update as follows:
This two days are the first Shabbat experience on tour. It is a very special Shabbat where they have time to get to know each other better and to start and build meaningful relationship between them. Today, the group went to mount Zion, to the Sataf and to the Kotel. They are spending the Shabbat at Jerusalem at Rabin Youth Hostel, and will go tomorrow to the Roses Garden near the Knesset to do the Havdala. After Shabbat finished they will go to the Time Elevator.
