Dear NCSY NJ TJJ Bus 6 Family,
We continued our wet and wild stay in the GOLAN!!
Our day started as the bus took us to the Sea of Galilee as we participated in a teambuilding exercise in the Kinneret by having a raft building competition. Lunch (our first schwarma of the summer!!) was enjoyed at the idyllic Majrase, which is the largest freshwater reserve in Israel. We had a great time exploring the reserve and getting into water splashing fights with other groups visiting from all over Israel. We then headed over to Tiberias which we learned is one of the four holiest cities in the world!
Monday afternoon continued with an awesome water park on the Kinneret and some free time on the boardwalk in Tiberias. We also had a rocking boat cruise out on the Kinneret. After dancing our shoes off on the cruise, we capped off our day with true cultural experience as we ate out in an Israeli steak restaurant, El Rancho. Pita, Hummus, Kufteh, and Pargiyot galore!!
We are looking forward to tomorrow when we wake up early to tackle the Kziv stream and head over to Acco to learn about the Israel underground that set the stage for the establishment of the State of Israel!
Best,
Rabbi Shmulie Greene
