The excitement was palpable all day at Lev Chana and HALB as students and teachers celebrated Israel’s 77th birthday. At Lev Chana, the entire school building was transformed into different cities in Israel. Students made their very own passports, boarded their flight, and landed at Ben Gurion Airport!
They went from city to city: milking cows, training at an IDF base, picking oranges, fishing, and, of course, davening at the Kotel! At HALB, all students joined together for a beautiful musical Hallel. Shoshana and Chen, HALB’s Bat Ami girls from Israel, ran an incredible chidon for each grade. The day ended with a spectacular Yom HaAtzmaut celebration where families joined together for good food, music, dancing, and fun with the Shnitzel Guys!
