ג’וריש, זעתרה (צומת תפוח)
Jurish, Tapuach junction,
We left Rosh Ha’ayin at 14:15 and reached Jurish at 15:00.
At 17:45 an army jeep was parked at Tapuach junction, in the direction of the Jordan Valley.
The girls’ class and the boys’ class awaited us at the municipal building. We held an English lesson and a yoga class for the boys and the girls separately. In both classes we continued teaching the topic of family, the family tree and the occupations of various family members. The boys and girls worked in pairs and presented their results to the class. We had a lively discussion about the topics. Since there are large differences within each class in the pupils’ level of knowledge, those more advanced are asked to help the beginners. We did role playing, the pupils playing fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, etc.
Both yoga classes proceeded in a positive atmosphere and with the full cooperation of the participants.
The girls are particularly excited by the physical activity, except for two who refrain because they’re very religious.
At 17:15 we left with Nadim for Tel Aviv.
Jubara (Kafriat)
See all reports for this place-
The Jabra checkpoint was on Road 557, south of Tulkarm, on the side of the Figs Pass, which is located within the Palestinian Authority (a few kilometers east of the Green Line), and serves as an entry barrier from the territories to Israel. The checkpoint to the village of Jubara, which until 2013 was in the seam area, blocked and surrounded by a fence, was intended for the passage of the family members of the house next to the checkpoint, and also for the MachsomWatch volunteers (with special permission only), on their way to checkpoint 753. on the other side of the village. The soldiers supervising the "fig crossing" also supervised the crossing at this checkpoint, in our shifts we often waited a long time until the key was found and the gate opened. The checkpoint was abolished and became part of the separation fence that was moved west following the High Court.
