In this episode of The Spark, Dr. Weiss is joined by parent and former Bornblum board member Margo Fogelman and past president of the Bornblum board Jill Shanker, as they recount their experience with 20 members of the Memphis Jewish community as they traveled around Israel on a mission.

They talked about the feeling of the atmosphere and the “veil of normalcy” they witnessed, visiting a car graveyard in southern Israel, visiting the site of the Nova Festival, meeting and hearing harrowing stories from ZAKA Search and Rescue volunteers, touring the kibbutz where the heroic Rose Lubin lived, visiting the state-of-the-art Magen David Adom blood center, going to Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, delivering cards and pottery made by Bornblum students, and more.
