Tel Aviv is totally awesome! We began our adventures with a relaxing trip to the Mediterranean Sea located in the busy city of Tel Aviv.. It was so nice to layout on the beach and cool down with a swim in the ocean. Following our downtime we took a trip to the Independence Museum. It was neat to be in the exact place where Israel claimed its title as a Jewish state and learn about the geography of the land. Later that night all 47 of us hit the streets of Tel Aviv for a night out on the town. Exhausted and having a blast, we went to Hotel Deborah and got ready to head to Jerusalem in the AM!

Shalom to all from Shorashim Bus 162! As we leave the mystical and religious town, Tsfat, we wanted to reflect on our first 3 days on our trip through Israel. After a long 11 hour plane ride, we traveled up north to the Golan Heights. We checked into a kibbutz and spent the night meeting one another, including the 7 Israeli soldiers who would be sharing this experience with us. Early the next morning, we spent a couple hours hiking through Gilabun, a site of the Golan Heights abundant with rocky cliffs and beautiful waterfalls.
