| | | | | MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED 
Dear Parents, How excited I am to be writing to you from Jerusalem, where we are having an incredible experience! Throughout this week, I will be updating the blog, http://ksa-ne.blogspot.com/, each day with what we are doing and some pictures of our activities and links to the video that Rabbi David creates for the trip each day. As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so be sure to watch the video each day. By the time many of you read this, we will have already experienced the sun setting over Jerusalem as we welcomed Shabbat. I hope that your Shabbat will be as wonderful as I know ours will be.
Shabbat Shalom!
