The Nelech girls enjoyed an incredible trip to , soaking in the energy and unique atmosphere of the Shuk!

They kicked things off with a fun and engaging scavenger hunt, discovering the wide variety of products and learning about the history behind some of the Shuk’s iconic landmarks. Afterward, the students had time to explore on their own, shopping, tasting, and experiencing the vibrant food scene that makes Machane Yehuda so special.

A big thank you to Director of Academics Aryeh Eisenbergand Madricha Talia Taburi for accompanying the students and helping make this meaningful and memorable experience possible!
