Then, on Tuesday....


We went to Agamon Hahula where I gave my #myIsraeltour presentation. BTW it is Noah Marquez writing this. We went on a 10k bike ride, and saw many amazing birds along the way. It was beautiful! 







After, we got ice cream courtesy of Sigal. Thanks Sigal! We then started our journey to Tzfat, playing awesome tunes in the bus along the way, and singing really loudly. Once we got to Tzfat we walked around some historical landmarks, including bullet marks on a building from the War of Independence. 


After that, we got pizza and went shopping and exploring around town. Then, we went to a very awesome synagogue (Ari Asheknazi) and I saw the most amazing ark I have ever seen! The last thing we did in Tzfat was watching a live “how to” on Glass Blowing with an artist called Sheva Chaya. Very mesmerizing. 






This is Sigal. She's awesome. 















Lastly, we went to Teveria (Tiberias). We each split into groups and went into town to get dinner in the restaurant of our choice, explore, and get to know each other. In conclusion, we had a very fun first day in Israel!

Desert Adventures

Note: Pictures to be uploaded shortly, when wifi is stronger. We're working against the elements here. Wow, where to begin? After our adventures through the Hebrew city, we headed south. We took a quick evening peek at Machtesh Ramon, before enjoying a delicious dinner and a reflection session on the trip up on the roof. Note: Zach is not fan of bugs. We all know that now. The next day, our boots were made for walking, as we explored the magic of Ein Avdat. Ariel, our tour guide, took us to his favorite tree and showed us the many different ways we can find life and water in the desert. We explored the gorgeous waterfall before tackling the steep ascent to the top of the mountain. We got hungry, so we stopped by a local supermarket. Everyone was given a different food to find in the supermarket and we enjoyed a picnic lunch of sandwiches with hummus, deli meats and an amazing tehina (thanks, Ravi!) as well as fruit and chopped veggies, with our supermarket findings.

Hinenu - we are here!

Shalom, friends! Here we are, up in the stunning green north, enjoying spectacular views. After making our ways through LAX and Ben Gurion, meeting our friends from JDS who we are touring with, we were greeted joyfully in Israel by Dana and Neta's grandparents, bearing delicious treats and hugs for all. Ariel, our tour guide met us with Adin, our coordinator and Ayelet, our madricha. And with the whole gang together, we got the show on the road! We headed immediately up north to enjoy the views over the Kinneret. At Mitzpe Arbel, the Arbel Overlook, we learned about Arbel Reich. He was a young soldier who quickly rose to the rank of commander, and sadly fell for Israel in the position. His parents set up a monument in his honor that shares an excerpt from his journal. In it, he shared his dreams for himself, others, and his country. Dreams that we shared with each other today, too. We arrived at our hostel afterwards to enjoy dinner together and to begin preparin
