We will have a deep dive (no pun intended) into the world of waste purification. Israel is a global leader in water research and technology.

Next, we will learn about the spiritual and cultural aspects of the community.
We are invited to the Hesder yeshiva of Rishon Lezion for a meeting with the Rosh yeshiva.
We shall lunch together with the wonderful young scholar- warriors.
Finally, we will enjoy a guided tour of the Rishon Lezion history museum, which tells the dramatic story of the historic "First Aliyah" in the 1880s.
Rishon Lezion was the first town established by this generation of pioneers.
We will delve into the amazing story

A visit to our youngest and oldest pioneers
Tuesday, March 10
Today, we will be traveling to the fringe areas of Gush Etzion and Havron.
Will Jewish presence in these areas be secured and expanded or be overtaken by Arabs?
A handful of young people believed it must remain Jewish and so dropped everything and "took to the hills."
Freezing winds blow away their tents; Arabs rob, pillage, and attack.
After repeated forced expulsions, they always return to rebuild.
Jewish history has never witnessed this.
In the future, scholars will try to understand where and how this tiny group was nurtured; how they determined the map and future of Israel.
After visiting the hilltops, we will see the holy city of Hebron where we will;
Pray at the Tombs of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs.
Visit with a pioneer who has recently redeemed a crumbling Arab house, expanding the Jewish presence in the holy city.
We will have lunch in the only Jewish eatery in Hevron. (You may bring your own food.)
