Politz 8th graders experience first-ever class trip to Israel
The moment Jewish history came to life for eighth-grader Maya Mellul was while walking among the excavated ruins where King Solomon was crowned the ruler of Israel.
Modern Israel piqued Jacob Hurlock’s interest. He is still processing the fact that a whole city could be erected in the middle of the barren desert in just five years, thanks in large part to an Israeli invention of necessity: Drip irrigation.
