Hiking, Learning, Kayaking, and More! | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Hiking, Learning, Kayaking, and More!

By Jordyn Yale

We began our trip by hikinh the Zavitan. We then went to Katzrin for an Israeli lunch of shwarma and falafel.

After, we went to Mount Bental to see the Syrian border where we could, unfortunately, hear some of the civil war going in Syria in the sitance. We learned a lot about Syria and all they are going through as well as Israel's history with its neighboring countries.

Our tour guide, Itay, asked our opinion on how we feel we are being portrayed as Jews in the United States, and what it meant to us to keep the religion alive.

We ended the day with the most fun activity, kayaking on the Jordan River. Now we are about to celebrate our first Shabbat in Israel and we could not be more excited to experience it.
