Dear NCSY TJJ Bus 3 Family,

 Hello from the GOLAN!!!!

Friday kicked off our summer with a trip to the Jilabun Valley where we did our first hike . After taking in the beautiful view and enjoying the fresh air mustered up our strength to conquer the “stairway to heaven” awaiting us at the end of the hike

From the Jilabun the Bus 3 Family went to the Dekarina Chocolate factory where we were shown how to make Israel’s most delicious treats!! After filling up on every type of chocolate imaginable (seriously I’ve never seen that much chocolate before in my life), we made our way over to Mt. Bental, a lookout point over Israel, Lebanon and Syria. There we learned about the border and how it is strategic for Israel to be in control of the mountain.

Now that our first day is in the books, we are all looking forward to celebrating our first shabbat together!

Best,

Rabbi Yitz
