So far, the trip has been amazing and I am excited for the next few days, yet sad it is coming to an end.

"I cannot speak for all the members on our trip because seeing the Western Wall is a different experience for everybody, but leaving a note and standing face-to-face with one of the holiest landmarks of Judaism was remarkable."

After the discussion we finally entered the square where the Western Wall is located. It was such a powerful sight to see not only all the Bar/Bat Mitzvah trips, but also all the people that were there for a chance to touch the wall for even a second.

My favorite day was when we went to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The wall made me feel so proud to be a Jew. Not only did it make me proud, but it made me closer to all my friends on the trip.

Wow! What an amazing experience it has been so far!

"While hiking through the Golan Heights, we happened upon the most breathtakingly beautiful waterfall and we just had to stop for a swim. I hope to share many more memorable experiences with all of you and I know that we will stay this close for the rest of our lives."

The reward for our courage was rafting on the Jordan River, we cruised, we battled, we dropped, we flipped, and had so much fun just being together!
