What an incredible trip to the Gaza Envelope.

We started off the day by helping farm in Moshav Shuva.

Together with a guitarist, we visited a preschool in Sderot, where we brought some Adar joy to the children with music and dancing.

We heard the story of the battle at the Sderot police station and continued to Beeri, where we witnessed the horrific devastation with our own eyes.

We finished the day in Re`im at the site of the Nova Festival.
We paid tribute to the holy souls lost there, who died simply for being Jewish, and we ended the day with songs of inspiration.

Am Yisrael Chai! The Jewish people will endure! 💙🇮🇱
