CAARI visits Weizmann House by Rosalie Whitehill


Today, Monday, it was back to school.....which is really the best part of the trip for me, even though we are seeing so many wonderful things with superb guides........the smiles, hugs, and loving expressions of the kids is priceless!!!!

After lunch, we visited the home of Today, Monday, it was back to school.....which is really the best part of the trip for me, even though we are seeing so many wonderful things with superb guides........the smiles, hugs, and loving expressions of the kids is priceless!!!!

After lunch, we visited the home of Chaim Weizmann,first President of Israel. It is an absolutely palatial home, by any Israeli standard.....even today!!  Weizman was so special in so many ways......too numerous to write now.....and for those who want to know more, I again recommend Google, or I will fill in details when I am back.  Our guide was better than wonderful, a former New Yorker, who was full of facts and fun and spoke of how great living in Rehovoth was (that is where Molly Orens  (a Lasell resident) who winters in Israel every year stays).  It is about a 20 minute drive south from Tel Aviv.

Wishing you all warmth, and wellness, and happiness, too!!!

love,
