Sunday, July 12, we took 3 students with us to help distribute hygiene kits at the Fahmi Library. Inas and Namati Ansari had picked up the kits earlier and were distributing them. I noticed they were also giving the women money either 50 or 100 shekels ($15-30). This was part of the Ramadan where they give money to the poor. Many of these women were from the West Bank and had come into Jerusalem for Ramadan.
Angela Walters, our BYU student, helped give out the kits.
This woman put up the bag to cover her face when we took this picture. Many of the Muslim women don't want their pictures taken.
The women waited patiently in the stairwell for their kit and money.
Cute babies are everywhere.

Kyle Schofield, Chris Schmutz, and Inas Ansari are the 3 on the right side.
After our humanitarian work, we took the students to the Knesset for a tour of the building. This is the general assembly room. The ruling party sits on the right side.
This is where the public can view the sessions.
This is a tile mosaic that Chagall designed for the reception area. We were here a couple of weeks before and took pictures of the Chagall tapestry.
This document in the entry of the Knesset is the equivalent of a declaration of independence. It is one of the three original documents.
