Abrams Hebrew
Academy Eight
Graders Visit Israel
A Photos courtesy of Abrams Hebrew Academy
contingent from Abrams Hebrew Academy in
Yardley that included 22 eighth-grade students
visited Israel between May 1-12, enjoying visits
to multiple popular sites.

The students explored the port of Caesarea, rode
donkeys at Kfar Kedem, visited Tiberias and the Misgav
Am kibbutz, and had a music session in Tzfat. They went
rafting, swimming and boating and spent Shabbat in
Jerusalem. In addition, students volunteered at Pantry Packers,
celebrated Lag B’Omer, visited Ma’arat Hamachpelah in
Hebron, hiked in Ein Gedi and swam in the Dead Sea.

They climbed Masada and visited Yad Vashem.

The academy dedicates a Torah every year — this
is the 22nd year for the trip — while they are in Israel
for graduation. This year, the students dedicated a
Torah to Rabbi Leo Dee who lost his wife, Lucy, and
daughters Maia and Rina in a terrorist attack in the
Jordan Valley during Passover. ■
Twenty-two eighth-grade students
from Abrams Hebrew Academy
spent nearly two weeks in Israel
in early May, visiting popular sites
including Masada and the Dead
Sea. They also dedicated a Torah
to Rabbi Leo Dee, whose wife and
daughters were killed in a terrorist
attack during Passover.
