Har Harzel V' Menachem Begin Center

We began our morning at the Har Herzl museum.  I have been to the cemetery a few times now, but the musuem was new.  It was an interesting presentation method, telling the story of who Herzl was by showing a hypothetical series of conversations between an actor and a producer and a woman who studied Herzl's work.  I really enjoyed it (I think they used some of the same voice overs from the Turkish Bathhouse in Acre, a truly amazing film and story).

Afterwards, we went to the Menachem Begin center, which I have never been to.  It is an incredible museum.  Before coming back, we stopped at a grocery store so that we could purchase snacks and wine for Shabbat, if we wanted.

The rest of the afternoon is ours, although, with only a few hours before Shabbat and being a great distance from anything walking, or a not very cheap cab ride, and no buses to get back, options are limited until dinner.  There are a number of small events going on this evening - Yoga, Services, and of course Kabbalat Shabbat.
