Overview: Days 2-4 | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Overview: Days 2-4

We are writing now from the hotel in Tel-Aviv! We spent 3 nights on the kibbutz in Malkiya, which included a hike through the Jillaboon, followed by our first real Israeli meal. The group ate schwarma, falafel and schnitzel. It was a considerable improvement over airplane food. The next day the group observed Shabbat. It was difficult for some to not use their cell phones. The next day we did Havdallah, a beautiful end to the Shabbos. Today we toured Tzfat, where we learned about the city, Kaballah, and Madonna. We then visited a school in Boston’s sister city of Haifa. We worked with the children there, and everyone had a great time. As we prepare to go out tonight, we all are excited for our Bedouin adventure tomorrow. -Nick and Seth
