TL-45-485 Update 4

Written by Shahar (mifgash-Israeli Peer)

As an Israeli who has joined Birthright, you don’t know exactly what to expect.
To join a group of new people that you have never met before can be quite intimidating, but as time goes by you become part of a family that you don’t want to be apart from.
To me, one of the most influential parts of the trip was on Mount Herzl.
To see everyone gets so emotional, appreciative, and respectful towards so many fallen soldiers that they have never met in their lives makes me truly proud.
I have been to Mount Herzl many times before yet the impact that the group left on me was truly profound.  They are a bunch of terrific people.
