Day Five: Exploring Judaism


Due to some late nights, the dispatches have been on hiatus but are back now!

We began our morning with a discussion with Dr. Mustafa Abu-Sway, who told us about Islam from a theological perspective.

After the morning lecture, we went to an art district, where we met a friend of Bob’s who is a painter and metalworker. We then went to the first Jewish settlement outside the walled city before walking around West Jerusalem. In the new city, we returned to the market for lunch and shopping.

That night, we attended Shabbat services at a conservative synagogue, after which we split off into small groups for Shabbat dinner with families from the congregation.
