Desert Day

Hey everyone! Sorry we've been spotty with updates-wifi is a commodity and we haven't had access to computers while we're traveling. We will post about last shabbat soon, but here's a post about the day after, this past Sunday. More to come soon!!!


After being woken up at 4 am, we all struggled to get dressed and prepare for a long day ahead of us. We took a bus to Masada and hiked up a steep path, able to make it to the top just in time to watch the sun rise. It was moving and after taking plenty of pictures, we all watched in awe. The group learned about the history of Masada and then toured An Gedi later in the day. We were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and swim in a small waterfall. Next stop- Dead Sea. Many complaints were made about the "burning sensation" that the water caused. But after much discussion, we came to a conclusion that it was a "good burn". A two hour bus ride later, we arrived in Jerusalem. Excitement is in store for what this magical city will bring for us.
