We continued to walk through the streets of Jaffa including the old city, the Jewish cemetery and ending up at a theater called Na Laga'at - please touch. This theater houses a theater group for the deaf and blind.
First we had the opportunity to meet with producer, Tzafir Kochonovski, for "a touch away" that will be seen on HBO some time. Seriously, look it up, it's going to be incredible.
Next, we saw the play, Not By Bread Alone. The theater company is made up of blind and deaf actors, to some degree. It was amazing and touching! This was truly an inspiring evening experience with a wonderful surprise at the end. The theater includes a restaurant called, Blackout. It is completely in the dark and run by 8 blind waiters. Absolutely an amazing cultural experience.
Finally, we topped the day off with dinner in Tel Aviv. Many of us met up with friends or family. I was thrilled to meet up with Becky and her fiancé Ofir. We had a wonderful meal together but the best part was spending the evening together and hearing about their life here in Israel. And, they are adorable together.
Time for some sleep and get ready for another great day and Shabbat tomorrow.
Lailah tov!
