We enjoyed an amazing dinner at the Café Feinberg in Hedera. This is a beautiful dairy restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the presentation is beautiful. The restaurant manager accommodated all of our trip’s special food needs. They serve amazing bread, pasta, salads and pizza here. We also were served delicious sesame free, gluten free, dairy free, nut free and egg free food. Everyone ate very well.
The chaperones each spoke about how wonderful the trip was. When we say wonderful, we are not just taking about the places we saw, the weather and the sites. We are talking about the students and how wonderful they behaved and boosted each other up. Each student worked hard to take risks, accomplish new things and support each other. We all grew closer to G-d, Israel, our peers and learned so much about ourselves.
Then the fun part began. Each student and chaperone received a fun award for different things that happened on the trip. While awards were humorous, they were given in love. We presented Yoni with a collection of our thoughts. Each student wrote a beautiful message to Yoni thanking him for his amazing ability as a tour guide.
It was off to the bus for our final ride to the airport. There were so many people checking in. Thankfully the entire process took about an hour and half. On our flight we all slept very well, as we were tired. One of the flight attendants told Rabbi Kosofsky and Morah Kosofsky that our group was so well behaved. Have we told you that this was a consistent message we heard all over Israel?
