At least 10,000 Jews from all over the country converged on Sderot today in a show of financial support by doing their Shabbat shopping in the town.

I personally didn't go (I only found out about the plans a few minutes before everyone left - I've been out of the loop the past few days), though many from my town did go, and they told me they are having a great time.

Instead I took my family on a quiet hiking tour of Judea and also stopped by the newly discovered gravesite of King Herod (which has finally been opened up to the public). (I'll try to add pictures on Sunday).
