Mega Day | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Mega Day

Yesterday we woke up at 4:30am, exhausted yet determined. We began our hike up Masada while it was still dark out, and made it to the top just in time for sunrise. We sat as a group facing east and waited until the sun had risen to take a tour around the ruins at the top. After we finished at Masada, we had an amazing experience at the Dead sea. Almost 45 mud-covered travelers floated and exfoliated in the amazing natural wonder. We then dedicated a couple hours of our day to bathing and cleaning up before Mega Event, when groups of Birthright participants from all over the world celebrated our journey and the people who provided us with the opportunity. There were famous Israeli singers leading all of us in song, accompanied by dancers on stage, and blue and white decorations filled the room. It was an evening filled with Israel pride and excitement.

The Prime Minister of Israel spoke at the Mega Event.
