Day 30: Exploring Haifa

Today, MBI went to Haifa! To start their day, they went to learned a bit about the city of Haifa and its demographics, including Jews, Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, Druze, Bahai, olim (immigrants), secular, Haredim, etc.

Later on, they went through the shuk for an afternoon activity. Each person got the name of another person in their kvutza, and they were tasked with getting them a small gift, like cookies, watermelon, other fruit, and more! Afterwards, the group went to the beautiful Bahai Gardens, where thousands of visitors of the Bahai faith come to complete their pilgrimage each year. While there, the group learned about the Bahai faith, and had time to see the whole downtown area of Haifa from the promenade at the top. 

The group went back to their hostel for some free time and dinner, and got to watch the sun set over the Mediterranean. They ended the day by participating in a chill evening activity together.
