Matthew has recently returned from Israel. He went with Birthright Israel. The group that organized his trip was March of the Living International. This trip goes to Poland and Israel. This is the description according to their website.
‘In Poland you will witness the destruction of European Jewry through visits of concentration camps. It is an opportunity to remember those who were murdered and honor those who survived. You will also immerse yourself in historic Jewish sites which showcase the richness of Jewish culture that once prospered in Europe.
In Israel you will experience the natural beauty of Israel, meet Israeli peers and connect to your Jewish heritage in ancient, beautiful and modern sites in Jerusalem, Massada, Golan Heights, the Galilee, Tel Aviv and more. Your trip will allow you to learn first hand about life in Israel and participate in lots of fun activities such as: hiking, jeep riding, floating in the Dead Sea, enjoying Bedouin hospitality, camel riding and so much more. You will make friendships and memories that will last forever.’
When asked if he had a good time on the trip, he said he had a better than excellent time.
Hopefully, he will download the pictures from the trip soon and maybe I will be able to put some on this site or link to them.
Matthew has now rested after the long trip and has started his search for a job. He graduated from the University of the Pacific in May 2007 with a degree in computer science. Job offers accepted. Prior to going to Israel, Matthew was working a contract job that ended before he left.
