14:15 – We left Rosh Ha’ayin
15:00 Jurish. Eight girls came to the activity. We decided to begin with the yoga class to ensure all would participate. The weather was cold and the energetic activity helped warm our bodies and the atmosphere. The girls were in an excellent mood, much smiling and giggling. The activity included traditional yoga positions, change of position and flexibility exercises. In the English lesson we continued practicing the verb “to have” combined with names of parts of the body. We then had a discussion about the family. I showed them my family tree and each girl drew hers. Then they all described their families and their relationship with one member of their family with whom they’re particularly close. Most of them have a warm, close relationship with an older brother they enjoy spending time with. The final exercise asked them to decide whether a certain word belonged to a particular group of words, based on the following worksheet which we distributed:

At the end we sang “Row, row, row your boat”, listening to the melody on YouTube. We left at 15:15.
On our drive back we noticed a military vehicle parked at Haris junctions. We were stopped at the Shomron junction, and continued after answering a few questions
Jurish
See all reports for this place-
Jurish
An ancient village, of which 62% of the lands were defined after the 1995 agreements as Area B, while the remaining 38% Area C. Israel confiscated 17 dunams of the village's land for the construction of the Israeli Migdalim settlement, in addition to expropriating land for Road 505. In mid-2016, a road was blocked by the IDF (partly paved by the Palestinian Authority) that connected Jurish to Road 505. This is the shortest way to get to Jurish from the main road, without bypassing another 6.5 km through Qusra.
From 2014 to mid-2016, volunteers from the Watch checkpoint in the village held English, yoga and Hebrew classes for girls.

At the Za'tara checkpoint, there are separate routes for Israelis and Palestinians. In the route for Israelis, there are no inspections and the route for Palestinians inspects. The queue lengthens and shortens suits. The checkpoint is open 24 hours a day. The checkpoint is partially staffed and the people who pass through it are checked at random.
