We started off in the forum and were able to learn more about the "Call to Prayer", and more of the practices of Islam. It was really neat because two guests (father and son) came who recited the call to prayer as well as sections of the Qur'an for us. They had beautiful voices. It was amazing to learn that one of them had memorized the entire Qur'an at age 9. Studying and reading the Qur'an (and reciting it for others) is what they have devoted their lives to.
After that section of the evening, we went into the kitchen to have our Arab dinner. It was mostly fun just to see everyone dressed up, and to have a fun break from the stress of school. After dinner we went into the gym and some locals taught us some Palestinian dancing! It was a blast, and it basically just turned into a dance party. :) Enjoy a few pictures from the evening!
