Day 1 was a long day but it was well worth the traveling. Some of us knew to arrive on time at the airport at 12:30am. Some arrived early at 9pm and others made us wait around, thank you Ben. Our flight was delayed until 5am but we got on the plane and made our way to Israel only a few hours later. We slept for about 3 hours before waking up for day 2.
Day 2 was long and eventful. We started the day at Mt. Arbel for an “easy” downhill hike. It actually involved ladders on narrow paths and some encounters with cows. But the hike was beautiful nonetheless. Then we drove to Tzfat for lunch and sightseeing. We are shwarma and falafel, which were all delicious. Then we had the opportunity to meet a mystical artist named Avraham Levanthal who showed us his art and told us about his interesting life connecting to Judaism. The next stop was the mikvah. We all loved our guides and learned a ton of information about both mitzvahs and mikvahs and gained some new insights on relationships. Finally we quickly visited two synagogues because we were late, naturally.
We are all very tired so we are going to try to sleep as much as possible before the early wake up. Hopefully tomorrow we will be better at our count off.
