Arrived in Israel!
Our trip began with an early morning meeting at O'hare before our departure to Toronto, and then to Israel. Our first activity was getting to know one another followed by a wonderful Shabbat weekend on a kibbutz in the north. We had time to relax, get to know one another, and ease the transition into being in Israel. A few of the highlights from our weekend were a group yoga session, a nature walk through the kibbutz, and getting to know the people and lifestyle at the kibbutz. Sunday we hiked through the golan heights, saw an overview of Syria, and learned about the history of the area.
On Monday, we explored the city of Tzfat and got to experience the mysticism of Israel like the locals. We then made our way to everyone's much anticipated visit of tel aviv. Currently everyone is getting ready for a live music performance before going out for the night in tel aviv.
With love from Israel,
