On RWB's second day in Israel, Company dancers and staff had an opportunity to visit some of the historic sights of Tel Aviv. This included a stop at Independance Hall where the independence of the State of Israel was first declared. Following lunch, the group traveled just north of Tel Aviv to Caesarea.
