Our day started bright and early when getting off the plane in Tel Aviv around 6:40 AM. If you were to ask me I would say the plane ride was pretty miserable because of the uncomfortable seats and the screaming kids. We boarded our bus and spent a total of one hour and 20 minutes in traffic before even getting to our first destination. Anu, Museum for the Jewish People. We toured three floors of the giant building and my favorite was definitely the first exhibit we saw. It was called the Jewish Mosaic and it was a collection of giant photos of Jewish families from all over the world. One thing that stuck out to me about these families was the fact that they were all a little different. For example, there was a mixed family, a family with a spouse covered in tattoos, a more religious family, and a family that was part of the LGBTQ community. This made me think about how different families from different backgrounds can connect over the fact that they are Jewish. They can be so different and still have similar beliefs. After our visit at the Anu, we took a trip to a Druze village located near Haifa. Daliat al-Carmel, the largest Druze village in Israel, has over 17,000 Israeli Druze residents. Our destination was a house called The House of Color. The whole house was covered with floor to ceiling splatter paintings. Even the outside of the house was covered and had no spots showing the color of the original paint. Inside the house there were some amazing sculptures of people, children, and one of a giant boat. I really enjoyed exploring the house and seeing something new and different in each room. My favorite room was a room covered in black and white splatters with a very vibrant and colorful piano located in the middle of the room. By the end of the day, I can confidently say that we all saw some excellent art, are all exhausted, and we will all sleep well tonight!
