Last Thursday was יום העצמאות(Israel’s independence day). It was a lot of fun, at night I went to a concert the the park and heard lots of bands play (the park was really crowded, I didn’t know that Hod Ha’Sharon was that big), the next day I went to the beach and went swimming and had a sand fight with a few other students. Later that day I went to a barbeque that the school made for us.
Being in Israel for the 60th anniversary of the declaration of the state was very special. In a few years when people talk about how Israel is, I will be able to say that I was there when the country turned 60.
