lil b – i know a kid who was rewarded by his rebbe for being good in class and was taken with some other kids to kever rochel, the kotel, and tunnel tours one evening/night. another kid was taken during a lunch break with few others to the kever of dan to say some tehillim and then return to class.
i’ve never heard of such field trips in america.
oh, and even if you’re working in secular place: i know of someone who worked in a completely secular hospital in a totally secular city, but during pesach the guards would ask everyone as they would enter if they have chametz in their bags.
on pesach and succos, kotel area is filled with people, and not just tourists.
every 4 steps you walk in israel is a mitzvah – can’t say the same for anywhere in America.
