Tel Aviv Fieldtrip

Sunday Dave’s class (which includes folks not from MSU, including a good number from Italy and other European countries) took a trip to Tel Aviv. We visited the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed, Rabin Square (where he was assassinated just after a peace rally), and the beach. We talked about the differences between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem – old/new, religious/secular, traditional/modern, Hebrew/Jewish. I need to type up notes from the academic parts of the trip and will hopefully get those up tomorrow.
