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.
Our hike in the Zavitan was strenous yet breathtaking and the swimming hole at the end made it all worth it.
Reflecting on the new experiences I had today reminded me of how lucky I am to have received this gift. There is no gift like it anywhere.
We got up before 4 AM this morning to climb Masada and see the Roman-era fortress and other ruins. The hike to the top was pretty intense, but the view and the exceedingly well-preserved ruins were worth it.
A haiku poem of my experience in the Dead Sea.
My day began by waking up at 3:50am in order to watch the beautiful morning sunrise at the top of Mt. Masada. At the top of this amazing mountain, our group explored Masada and learned about the history from this site. We watched as a few of my friends had their bar/bat mitzvah, which was very touching and inspriational! I then went to the Dead Sea where I floated alongside everyone and enjoyed the beautiful salty water.
