After our forest work we visited the Memorial dedicated to the 44 people who tragically died in the fire. What can one say? Continuing our journey, we stopped by the Druze Village, Ossifia, for a 'light 'lunch and a discussion of the Druze community. Our guide was very informative and the cook outstanding! It was truly a feast!
Next stop - Ein Hod for a visit with a special artist who collects music boxes. You are probably thinking of those small music boxes, but his collection included all types including the gramophone and other boxes made in Europe over 100 years ago. It was an impressive collection and Nissim gave us an entertaining presentation!
Our last stop of the day was Tel Aviv, where we will be for the next four weeks. We were welcomed by the staff and former CAARI participants who joined us in Tel Aviv.
A lovely Shabbat - some attended services at the local Conservative Synagogue - others took part in the folk dancing on the Tayelet and some greeted Joyce and Marion who arrived today. 
After our orientation and 'train the tutor' most of the group headed to the shuk and crafts fair. The sun was shining, temperatures in the 70's and just a glorious day for browsing, shopping and getting ready for Shabbat. Wishing all our friends and family a Shabbat Shalom!
