On Friday, one of the last days of JCM, we visited schools. We started the day by going to Rochell Zell Jewish High School. We davened and then ate breakfast. After breakfast, we got to talk to the rabbi at RZJHS about the school and how everything works. The Israelis had time to ask questions about how the school works compared to the schools they had visited Wednesday and compared to their school. When the rabbi left we had an in depth conversation about each person’s time volunteering Thursday and the importance of volunteering and how people may come into these situations. We left the high school and ate lunch at Mizrahi grill. After lunch, we went to Northwestern. At Northwestern, we went to the Hillel there and got a tour of the campus. We then talked about BDS at Northwestern and world wide and its significance for Israelis and american jews. We took the bus home and went to our homes for shabbat. Lidor and I went to stay with Garren and Ariel for shabbat. We also had shabbat dinner with Ben, Tevel, Einav, and Annie. We had a nice dinner at the Zavell’s house and then went back to the Kalter’s to go to sleep.
