Three students from PARDES high school in Cleveland, Ohio, are in Israel with the Nesiya program from March 21- May 24th. As part of the program, Nesiya provides time for the partnerships to experience living in their "sister" cities.

Daniel, Edie, and Sammi are in Beit Shean from April 18-28 experiencing this relationship - we experienced the emotional impact of Yom Hazicaron for the Holocaust when sirens wailed throughout Israel in memory of the Shoah. The Hebrew word "Tzfira" was added to the students' ever increasing Hebrew vocabulary. The staff of the Cleveland house including, but not limited to, Anat, Iris, Merav and Zvia are some important links between our two communities. The phrase: "Kol Israel Arevin Ze Lze" is so evident between our 2 communities.
