Dear family and friends,
Today we had our first well-needed day of rest on the trip. We woke up at leisure, had breakfast and then participated in a group discussion about our Jewish identities and what being Jewish means to us.
After the group activity, we went straight to lunch. During the afternoon we swam, relaxed by the poolside and were able to spend more time getting to know each other. We then had a question and answer session with Rabbi Zev where he answered all of our questions.
After, our mifgashim (the Israelis that have joined us for 5 days on our trip) ran a fantastic activity for us about the Israeli army. It was great to learn a little bit about some of the things that the soldiers in the army do, and we all received a gift from them!
After Shabbat we stood under the stars and sang along to havdalah with a guitar played by Steven.
Finally this evening we went bowling!!! Everyone had a great time and we even got to get some dinner there too.
Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!
