We gathered in the lobby of the hotel around 6pm. After an hour waiting for the bus, we headed off to a local stadium to participate in the opening ceremonies. It was quite the spectacle involving the marching of over 2000 athletes, coaches, trainers etc. After the speeches, the actors and the Chanukah celebration, we all headed down to the front of the stadium to see the cauldron and trade apparel with the other countries. A fun evening of friendship mixed with Judaism and national pride.
