Bring It In - Israel Winter Fellows participated in their first in the field training day in Jaffa at Hashmonaim Elementary School. Hashmonaim is between the Ajami neighborhood of Jaffa and Bat Yam. Fellows gained hands on experience running team building basketball games for Israeli children from 1st to 5th grade. They also had a chance to hone their Hebrew sports vocabulary while talking with the children. The day was done in partnership with PeacePlayers International - Middle East and Bnei Brit Community Center. The morning activities were run by Toronto Fellows Chava Dashevsky, from Real Life Israel, and Judah Batist and Jacob Walker from Aarvark. As Toronto's partnership 2000 city is Bat Yam, Bring It In - Israel Fellows look forward to bringing back their experience to Toronto running Israel Sports Days at religious schools, day schools, and camps.
