The seventh-grade girls of Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion visited Philadelphia to explore the birthplace of the United States. Touring Independence Hall, getting up close to the Liberty Bell, and walking the streets of colonial America, the girls learned to appreciate the origins of our great country.

Hearing the history of Kahal Kadosh Mikveh Israel, the longest consecutive running Orthodox shul in America, the girls were able to appreciate its Jewish contribution to the USA. Ending off the day, the talmidos had fun at the Museum of Illusions and Urban Air.
