And the Israel adventures continue...

Hi, This is Jesse Kellar from Israel.  Today we had a very busy day. We got up at six o’clock and Davened in the sanctuary in the Kibbutz we are staying. After breakfast, we hopped on the bus to go to Tzfat. We toured the mystical city of Tzfat, including an old temple. At exactly ten o’clock, the siren for Yom HaShoah went off. For a minute, everybody stood silent and still. The cars stopped and the people got out, and stood quietly in memory of the Shoah. After Tzfat, we traveled to the Jordan River. At the Jordan, we rafted in groups of six. Everybody had tons of fun rafting and splash wars and races commenced. Everyone loved the rapids. Once we were all done rafting, we went to the Hula Valley where we biked around ten kilometers, or about six point five miles. We saw birds and otters, as it was a nature reserve. After another bus ride full of beautiful scenery and some cows and donkeys along the road, we got back to the Kibbutz.  Since several people had birthdays in the range of the past few and upcoming days, we had a mini birthday party for them. We ahad cakes, soda, and listened to music. We also played traditional Israeli birthday party games, such as the potato sack game and various ways to pop the balloon. Everybody is a little tired, but Israel is amazing and everybody is having fun.
