A march to the Old City of Jerusalem with hundreds of thousands of people;
A guided tour of Mt. Herzl cemetery to pay respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for Jerusalem;
Day trip to the Negev to witness the revitalization and growth in the region;
A unique Shabbat Yerushalayim experience;
