Hello! Sorry about the lack of blog posts- it
means we are busy working, traveling, and having fun. Outside of work we have
had chances to see various historical sites. We visited Masada, the mountain where Jewish
exiles succumbed to the Roman Empire in the first century. Down the road from
Masada is Ein Gedi, the desert oasis where King David was said to have hid from
King Saul.

We have gotten to travel Israel to conduct work interviews as
well. Just about every day we have been traveling to different organizations to
conduct research. We have visited many companies in and around Tel Aviv, in
cities like Herzliya, Ramat Gan, Roshe Litzion, Natanya, Haifa, and more.
Last week we attended a meeting at the Knesset, the Israeli
Parliament. The meeting was about the best practices and policies for employing
people with disabilities in Israel. It featured numerous organizations we have
been in contact with. It was nice to see familiar faces and meet more of the influential
people involved with employing people with disabilities in Israel.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and good commentary. What a wonderful opportunity to visit the Knesset and reconnecting with the organizations you met before! We are pleased that you explored the sites during your time off. It is hard to believe that only one week is left.
