Israel Trip Day 9 - March 20, 2018
The coolest part of ammunition was the trenches. They let us walk through them. It felt like I was learning the history of a great battle. Then we did a food walking tour in the old city. My favorite part was when we got to try the halva at a special stop in the market.
Then we visited the egalitarian part of the western wall. But I ...

MARCH 17, 2018 -- DAY 6
Shabbat is a time for rest. The Orient hotel provided a beautiful environment to accomplish just that. On our free morning some of the group caught up on sleep or relaxed reading in one of the exquisite courtyards.
Some may have followed Rabbi Ben back to the Har El synagogue to hear visiting Rabbi ...

Upon leaving the Pastoral Kibbutz, we progressed to the Kinneret Cemetery. Before leaving Rabbi informed us of a special resident, Rachel (the Poetess).
The cemetery itself was beautiful, but where it lay was breathtaking.
It was below the Golan Heights and above the Sea of Galilee, the stories on stones, the music (yes the music) that BG ...

We eagerly began our third day in Israel with another amazing breakfast at the Carlton Hotel. We bid “shalom” to Tel Aviv and boarded the bus for our drive along the Mediterranean Sea coast to Haifa. Our tour guide, BG, filled our time on the bus with a detailed explanation of israeli and Jewish history.
Our first stop was the Leo Baeck ...

We started off in the old city of Jaffa and walked to the top of the overlook for an introduction to Tel Aviv and Jaffa. We learned that while Jaffa was the original port to Tel Aviv, it has Jewish, Christian, and Ancient Roman Greek history. We walked the streets and visited the flea market and old port.
Bus broke ...
