This has was a powerful moment as we have gone our entire lives seeing pictures of the holy city. Now we were finally here.

Let me tell you, that mix did not disappoint. Delicious! 

What better way to learn about the history of Jerusalem than walking the same paths that many of our ancestors had walked before?

This is a once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't want to have it with anyone else but you, bus 460. It's been five days and you already mean the world to me.

Bar took us to an amazing rooftop with a view of the old city and the Western Wall.

When Hatikvah flowed triumphantly from the speakers, the emotions were raw and powerful and we rose to our feet as one. Achdout – literally "unity" in Hebrew, but translating to a more powerful sentiment than our word conveys – is a contagion that has infected our whole group. 

The architecture of the museum is quite breathtaking.

Hebrew word of the day: Ad Matai which translates to "until when"

After our final meal at Kibbutz Afiq, we boarded the bus and headed to the holy city of Tzfat. Tzfat is one of four holy cities in Israel alongside Hebron, Tiberius, and Jerusalem. Tzfat is a beautiful city full of lively art and Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah.

he most meaningful moment of the day was being able to touch and write a note at the Western Wall, and it was touching to see others showing their emotions and allowing themselves to be vulnerable together.

From their we traveled to Jerusalem Beach (still in Tel Aviv, contrary to its moniker), where we spent an hour and a half wading in the gorgeous, crystal-clear Mediterranean. Then we explored the shuk marketplace for lunch, before boarding the bus and heading for the nation's capital.
