After picking everyone up from their respective locations, we went to the fields in Leket to pick potatoes for poor families who cant afford food. We picked over 1600 lbs of potatoes which went to feed over 200 families this week! What a chesed everyone did today! Our sweat and hard work went to help so many people attain one of their basic needs: food. Then, we drove to Holon where we had a delicious falafel lunch at the Weitzmann Institute garden of science. There, we got wonderful guided tours by some of the phd students. We got to see how angular momentum, sound waves, and optical mirrors work. After the science garden, we went to Dialogue in the Dark, which is an exhibit where everyone can experience what it's like to be blind. We walked through different rooms where there were simulations of being outside or in a market, and everywhere was pitch black. We had to get through using all of our other senses. It was a very powerful experience for everyone. Then, we went back to the hotel and had our last meat meal before the nine days...eeek! After Chaburas, we went straight to sleep because wakeup tomorrow is very early and the day is extremely busy! Don't forget to tune in tomorrow to see what happens!
