A Shabbat in Jaffa (Yafo)

Contributed by Yonim Schweig

Our arrival in Tel Aviv featured lunch and free time in the Jaffa Shuk, followed by preparations for Shabbat at the Daniel Ruth hostel. We all took advantage of some much needed sleep Shabbat morning, and came together on the roof of our hotel to reflect on community week and congress.


Later on, we went on a walking tour of Jaffa, and discussed topics such as gentrification with Muslim dialogue activist, Ihab. We returned to the hotel for Seudat Shlishit and free time, and did Havdalah on the roof together. After Shabbat we went to a stomp performance in Jaffa. Overall it was a very relaxing shabbat together, and we are savoring our last days together.
