After breakfast in the hotel we walked along the square and on to the Jewish Quarter.  We  visited the Pinkas Synagogue (15th century) where nearly 80,000 names of murdered Jews are written on the massive walls, the Old New Synagogue, Klaus Synagogue and the Old Jewish Cemetary. We saw the Hall of Ceremonies, which is an exhibition of drawings of the children of Terezin Concentration Camp/Getto. We also saw the house and a statue comemorating Franz Kafka (a Prague/ German  Jewish writer).

An Afternoon of freetime ended with a vegitarian dinner and a final sharing session. What a remarkable, intuitive, sensitive group of students!
Tomorrow we separate 6 will return to the US and 10 will continue on to Israel.
