The Great Lakes Jerusalem Program 2000 stayed on
Kibbutz Tzora for almost a month from September to October 2000,
enjoying time volunteering in the community and learning from Israeli
professors and from host families. Originally, we planned to
spend about 3 weeks there, and then another 3 weeks on a homestay near
Bethlehem, in the West Bank. Unfortunately, during our stay on
Kibbutz Tzora, Ariel Sharon visited a sensitive religious site in
Jerusalem and that sparked the current Palestinian uprising, which
meant that we couldn't live in the West Bank. The good news was
that we were able to spend extra time on the kibbutz, which was
non-stop fun. Here are a few photos!
More photos coming soon!
