Last week our class traveled down south for four days to the desert. The trip was very relaxing and the weather was beautiful (even a little too hot). We visited Qumran and Masada on Wednesday, went on a hike on Thursday, and went to the beach in Eilat on Friday. We stayed at Kibbutz Yahel (which is where I spent my 21st birthday two years ago), one of the two Reform Kibbutzim in Israel. Some of the "Chailights" from the trip were:
-getting lost on Masada looking for a bathroom
-having two "tour crashers" on Masada (our teacher David Levine, led our tour, and two random people decided to join for the entire time)
-eating pomelos from the pomelo field at Kibbutz Yahel
-spontaneous Israeli Dancing on Friday night with classmates
-relaxing on the hammock on the Kibbutz
-seeing the cows
-getting to spend time with people who I don't usually hang out with
-an awesome text study with Yoshi at the end of the Tiyul
-Services on the Hike
-Songleading at the campfire on the first night
