Faculty members travelled to Jerusalem for a team-building day. Starting out in the picturesque alleys of Ein Karem, we then
followed the footsteps of the Banai family through the alleys of the old neighborhoods of Jerusalem, from Zichron Yosef to
Nachlaot. Afterward we stopped at the Mahane Yehuda Market for some shopping and a delicious culinary tour.
