The Cavern of Cows

By Jacob Kash

Bright and early, we started the day at Mt. Arbel for an exciting descent of what we learned was an extremely important aspect of Israel's history. Following this excursion, we traveled to Tzfat to learn about Kabbalah and its origins as well as how it intertwines with Judaism, some of us also experienced the majesty that is falafel. Later we rafted down the Jordan River. However, one sight no one could comprehend, or move past, was witnessing a herd of cows halfway up the mountain in a cave on Mt. Arbel participating in vicious fights and serious public displays of affection. While the motives of these locals remain unknown, we can assume that this was a particularly rambunctious group of cattle. The trail was littered with their droppings so clearly they had zero consideration for any other visitors. That's all for today, stay tuned for more updates and all things cow related.
