Meet all my new friends in Tel Aviv. Great kids. Bialik Rogozin. Magical school. - AUS10
The school was the focus of an Academy Award winning documentary, Strangers No More.
Here's about the movie from the director:
"It’s hard to film a miracle. Telling the story of the remarkable Bialik-Rogozin School in Tel Aviv -- an extraordinary place where one can experience a sense of humanity so rich and pervasive it often feels impossible -- seemed a tremendous responsibility. Among the 750 refugees and immigrants from forty-eight countries and every known religion, we chose to follow three children who fled their homelands in Darfur, South Africa, and Eritrea. Over the course of fifteen months, we portrayed their struggles to forget the past and rebuild their lives in this rarest of communities, where truly no one is a stranger. "

And who presented the Oscar to them for the documentary? Jake and Amy Adams.
One more pic of Austin goofing around with the kids as they get ready to take pictures.
And it sounds like he has found the Israeli equivalent of his beloved taco trucks.
Just ate the most epic falafel of my life in sderot, Israel with Falafel is the unofficial food of Israel and the ultimate street food, there are places to grab falafel on almost everywhere.
And what sets one a part from the other? It the combination of falafel themselves, the bread, the condiments, salads and relishes. And in Israel it isn't just some lettuce tomato and cucumber with some tahini sauce but "towers of vegetables, pickles, salads and relishes" added that will make you forget you are going healthy and vegetarian. (Jake should be happy with that.)
And for Two Wheel Tuesday -
Two Wheel Trips in Israel. (wonder if Austin will get a chance to ride while there)
