JAIL ORT 2010 – a fascinating trip

This summer, 40 students from ORT Technical Schools travelled to Israel within the framework of the 'Jail' programme. The students were chosen for their outstanding academic performance and were accompanied by the Jewish Education teachers Silvana Sipicki and Pablo Intebi.

From the beginning of the adventure, the students established a valuable, solid group, which enabled them to strengthen their bonds and enjoy the experience of growing with others.

They visited cities, museums and historical places, exchanged experiences with Israeli adolescents and learnt about the everyday life of a country full of contrasts and vitality. By touring around Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the students saw a young State with a millenial history -two characteristics of this country.

On April 6th, there was a ceremony to say goodbye to the 95 students who will be representing ORT Argentina in "March of the Living 2010". There were musical and artistic shows for the people present at the event: relatives of the students who are travelling, members of "Generations of the Shoah", authorities and teachers from our Institution.
