Wednesday, June 22nd:

Bus H left Chicago and made their way to St. Louis. They arrived downtown and went up to the top of the Gateway Arch. Then they went to their host synagogue for dinner. After dinner, they had time to relax and go bowling. For an extra special treat, they went to Ted Drew's frozen custard place for dinner before staying at homes in the Jewish Community for the night.

    

    

Thursday, June 23rd:

Mission Mitzvah continued south to Memphis, Tennessee. They visited the famous National Civil Rights Museum and took a trolley ride around Memphis. They met local members of the Jewish community at Temple Beth Shalom with a lavish barbeque. After dinner the group saved themselves lots of time and went Shabbat shopping.

Friday, June 24th:

Mission Mitzvah crammed a lot of sights in before Shabbat. They visited Graceland, Elvis Presley's home, and then went to the Memphis Jewish Home where they entertained residents by singing, "mitzvah clowning," (which they learned how to do Tuesday night of orientation night) and helped with Shabbat services. After this beautiful Mitzvah the group went to the Underground Railroad museum. Now they are getting ready for a relaxing and exciting Shabbat.
