Jacob Weiner, from Aurora, IL just graduated high school and is going to attend University of Denver in the fall.

Today was another great day on TJJ filled with lots of fun and activities. We started off the day by going rock climbing which I am very good at. Then we ate lunch at the rock climbing place where we had bagels. After that, we went to the shut in Jerusalem, Mahane Yehuda. I bought some delicious sesame cake and turkish delights for my brother! It was really busy on Friday and I could really feel the Shabbat rush that everyone was getting ready for. I really enjoyed the feeling and rush that I experienced because I could really feel that Shabbat was coming and the whole city was shutting down for it, buying all the things that they needed for their meals.  Finally, we enjoyed a relaxing Shabbat with some exciting prayers and began Tisha B’av. Pre- Shabbos roach was fun and we sang and danced a lot which I enjoyed. Playing games and eating the meals with friends was really nice and I enjoyed getting close with more people. I am really looking forward to more days on TJJ!
