Views | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Many of us ate falafel and Schwarma which was very delicious. After lunch, we made our way to a park. There, we learned about many stories of soldiers in combat, as well as enjoyed the gorgeous view that we could only see at this park. On top of a hill, we saw the border of the Mediterranean and Lebanon, which was breathtaking. We got back to the kibbutz to prepare for Shabbat. Our Shabbat service was beautiful, held outside and filled with many memories. Once the service was over, we had our Oneg, which consisted of guitar playing and getting to know each other games. We concluded the day with lounging out in the kibbutz central area. We're excited to rest up on Shabbat and then continue our trip.

Upon reaching the city of Tsfat, we enjoyed the famous Schwarma followed by a little site seeing. Walking through the magnificent art galleries, we were serenaded by ancient instruments. Led by one of our Israeli participants, Ariel, we were taken to the place of his Bar Mitzvah at the sacred Synagogue. It was so cool to see this part of our new friend's life!
