High Places, Low Places
Yesterday was a day of reflection for bus 457 of Shorashim.
After spending a night in a simulation of a traditional Bedouin tent our family rose at the ass crack of dawn to hike Masada and watch the sun rises over the mountains in the distance with a beautiful view of the Dead Sea beneath us.
This was a cyclical moment of reflection as the previous night we watched the moon rise. After hiking up and down Masada we went to the dead Sea to float around . The mud has a rejuvenative quality about it that left out little family glowing! Next we moved on to a bit of a leisurely afternoon shopping and eating in the giant Jerusalem market !
Then ,as Jews, are all about education we learned about the geopolitical climate in the middle east and how we got here. Then we got to eat dinner and retire for an early night!
