First Day Up North! | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

First Day Up North!

Benjamin Gladstone

Today was a great first day!

We began in the Golan Heights, which was a wonderful start to our discussions of Israel's security challenges.

It also gave us a valuable opportunity to contextualize Israel's position in the region, as well as that of the United States, as we learned about the civil war and ethnic cleansings only a few kilometers to our East in Syria.

Also, I finally got a long-awaited chance to eat shakshuka again! Can't wait for Tzfat tomorrow.
