Saturday Shabbat | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Saturday Shabbat

We got a late start today(10:00) after a very fun evening of dancing in the Kibbutz night club followed by hours of sitting on our patio playing guitar and singing. Luckily for us, our trip leaders planned several ice-breaker activities to get our blood flowing again before diving into the Saturday morning Torah portion discussion about Jacob's death. (Thanks to Lindsay for providing us with a beautiful recap of the musical Joseph) We then broke up into small groups and discussed important family values that our wonderful parents have passed onto us. Matthew Garber noted that his family has been doing Sunday night dinner for over twenty years. Next, we had lunch which included several vegetables, chicken, and meatballs. We are now resting for about two hours until our next group activity, the Havdallah. Tonight we are going to a city called Tiberias where we will have dinner in the city.
