Hello America,
This morning Rabbi Levi told us that if, by the end of the trip we don’t change as people, then we didn’t have the full Mayanot experience. Well, my internal clock is no longer a thing, so congrats to me.
Today we went to the Caesarean section of Israel where we learned about how King Herod gave birth to a culture based on that of the Romans.
Then we travelled to a nice little town called Zichron Yaakov where a vast majority of the group tried Shwarma for the first time. I enjoyed mine, I just wish it was a little shwarmer. (Can’t all be winners, I’m running on empty.)
We ended the day with a walk through the Ganei Hanadiv Gardens which my mother would describe as “very nice” and then took a brief hike down Ramat Hanadiv which my mother would describe as “too hot, not for me.”
Until next time,
Jason
