Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club is probably the best team in Israel and one of the best teams in Europe. This year Maccabi plays in the Adriatic league, which is a league that has 14 teams from Europe. Maccabi already played in the Adriatic league in 2003 and they got the second place back then.

The Holocaust that occurred during WWII was a horrible historic event that happened to the Jewish people and to the whole world. The memory of the Holocaust is very important because it may prevent it from happening again and because no one should ever forget the horrors that happened there.

A 5 AM Wake Up Call
ORT Rabin, Gan Yavne On January - 22 - 2012
Its 5 AM, I’m at the heart of Israel – Jerusalem – in a small room at a youth hostel. There’s unbearable knocking on the door, and my temporary roommates try to ignore it by using their pillow as earplugs. Apparently, we need to go out, when it’s still dark and cold to see the sunrise over the Knesset building. I couldn’t ask for a better start for this holiday.
The Night Spectacular
ORT Tivon On January - 22 - 2012
The Jewish holiday Hanukkah, which celebrates the survival of the second Temple in Jerusalem, is definitely my favorite. It’s filled with light (literally) and tasty foods, not to talk about 8 days of celebrations. So, when I leave home for 2 days during this holiday, I expect the reason to be a very good one – and man, the Eye2Israel seminar was a really great reason!
Tour at Mount Herzl
ORT Rabin, Gan Yavne On January - 22 - 2012

During the Hanukkah holiday, I participated in the Eye2Israel project overnight seminar, which took place on December 21-22, 2011. During the second day of the seminar, we all went to the Mini Israel tourism site.
There Was a Purpose
ORT Holon On January - 22 - 2012
For me, there was one main purpose for the Eye2Israel overnight seminar in Jerusalem – to meet new people, and I definitely got that done.
I Never Gave Up

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday, the holiday of lights. For eight days, everyone sings songs and lights candles every night. There are eight days off from school and there are many camps and trips for kids. This is a chance to celebrate Hanukkah with friends as well as with family.
An Amazing Seminar
ORT Ramat Yosef On January - 21 - 2012
I have to say that my Hanukkah vacation was wonderful just because of the amazing people of the Eye2Israel project who made our seminar great.
