Amazing Heights and New Sites

Today was an exciting but exhausting, really full day. After our first Shabbat together yesterday, we were all rested and ready to explore. We ventured to Mt. Arbel, where we went on a beautiful yet challenging hike. While some of the hike consisted of climbing down the side of the mountain, we conquered our fears and saw the beautiful historic sites as well as the city of Tzfat in the distance.

Following the hike, we traveled to Tzfat, the city of Kaballah. After exploring the city, we were given a glass blowing demonstration and learned about Kaballah from local artists. We finally closed out the day with a kayaking adventure down the Jordan River. Working in teams, we fought the rapids and attempted to avoid running into trees as we journeyed down the river. Our first full day was incredible and we're looking forward to exploring new destinations tomorrow!
