We woke up in the Bedouin tents after a late night filled with laughter and the kind of joy only brought about after bonding near a campfire.

We rose to the top and floated on the surface of the Dead Sea; rising to the top is a common theme of the day. 
 

It's hard to go to sleep at a reasonable time when you're having great conversations with great people.

Todah for everything Israel, for being out-of this world beautiful, and for being so welcoming and warm.

A few of the best names we gave the camels were: Donald Hump, Alexander Camelton, and Chewy Bacca.

The group was happy and bonding, and being such helped us realize that although we are guests in this beautiful land, we are already home.

We were then presented with the most delicious dinner a Mediterranean-loving vegetation could desire. After dinner, I was in 'The Secret of Herbs and their Uses' workshop and the most kind-hearted, adorable man shared his expertise on growing herbs and the distinct benefit that each herb can have on a human's health.

As soon as we knew it, we were at the top of the desert mountain, where every thing stood still. A breeze ran past our group as we looked over the edge and took in all the beauty. It was truly something.

I saw my group, my bBrthright family, and I saw a camel parade of adults who have chosen enthusiasm to be able to have an incredibly amazing experience.  It's a choice to do bBrthright just as it is to be excited. Birthright was a choice we made for different reasons - mine was largely because I haven't traveled and this was free. However, if I had any idea what this trip would mean to me before, I would have paid any amount for this experience (but I'm still really glad I didn't have to).

She decided to open up to us in this way because of the tight bond between each person in the group and the immense trust and acceptance that it holds. Sara's story led to the trip's theme of day: perseverance.
