A Beautiful Shabbat | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

A Beautiful Shabbat

Elle Marcus

We started the day after a wonderful morning of sleeping in with cake and coffee. Then we had an activity reading excerpts from the Torah. It was a great opportunity to discuss the Torah and its importance, especially for those (like me!) who aren’t as familiar. After that we were given time to relax. Some of us walked around the Kibbutz admiring the beautiful views, napped, played ultimate frisbee, played with the adorable dogs roaming around. We named one of the dogs, Kevin.

We ended Shabbat overlooking the beautiful hills and then got to leave the Kibbutz for dinner. A lot of us finally got our cravings for shawarma and falafel temporarily settled. After that it was back on the bus to the Kibbutz. We ended the night playing games that involved an extremely intense session of musical chairs and eating Israeli snacks off the ground. It was a great relaxing Shabbat, now time to get some sleep and get ready for a day of hiking!
