Our first day in Israel | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Our first day in Israel

What an incredible first full day in Israel. We began the day with a beautiful and challenging hike at Gilabun. The views were breathtaking and the natural beauty is something that can only be experienced first hand. After the hike we visited Mt. Bental and got to take pictures, learn about the history, and explore a barrack used during the Yom Kippur War. We learned a lot of rich information regarding our history, but we also really learned how important the preservation of our culture is. With all of the hiking we certainly developed quite an appetite and we ate schwarma, schnitzel, and falafel before visiting an olive oil manufacturer. It was incredibly interesting and fun to sample the olive oils and learn about all of the uses, besides just eating and cooking, and we all had an opportunity to get some gifts for our loved ones.
