Dear NCSY TJJ NJ Bus 6 Family,

Hello from the GOLAN!!!!

Friday kicked off our summer exploring the Holy Land while using our feet, on a hike in the Jilabun Valley. After taking in the historic Jilabun valley and learning how this land belonged to the tribe of Menasheh, we went down to a refreshing pool under a beautiful waterfall where we all were able to jump in and cool off. We picked up lunch at Katzrin and made our way to Mt. Bental, a lookout point over Israel, Lebanon and Syria. Our fantastic medic/armed guard, Eitan Brown, told us about his personal experiences as an IDF officer in observing this area while he was in service.

From the Bental the NCSY NJ TJJ Bus Family went to the Dekarina Chocolate factory where we were shown how to make Israel’s most delicious treats!! After filling up on every type of chocolate imaginable (seriously I’ve never seen that much chocolate before in my life).

Now that our first full day is in the books, we are all looking forward to celebrating our first Shabbat together!

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Shmulie Greene
