Dear NCSY TJJ NJ Bus 6 Family,

Shalom from the Maayan Charod!!

After seven days of enjoying the wonderful views and hospitality of Afik we packed up the bus on Thursday on the way to our new base in Maayan Charod!

We started our day by shopping a bit at the mall in Tiberias.

While on the way to our new base we stopped at Kfar Kedem where we had a hands on opportunity to feel what life was like in the Galilee two thousand years ago, we made pita, had a delicious ethnic lunch and even got to dress up and ride donkeys!!

Before reaching Maayan Charod we stopped at Mt Gilboa; the mountain where the first king of Israel, Saul, fell in battle. We marveled at the hillside that is barren to this day as a result of the famed King David’s curse of the mountain as it was where Saul died.

After arriving in Maayan Charod we had a very interesting Shabbat Shuk where we explored different facets of Shabbat with our advisors.

Tomorrow we’ll be exploring the physical and spiritual alleyways of the holy city of Tzefat.

Best,
Rabbi Shmulie Greene
