Dear NCSY TJJ BUS 3 Family,

We had a jam packed last few days. Before heading all the way down south, we made stops at some of Israel’s most famous attractions. We climbed Masada (admittedly most of the trip through cable car) and learned the important history of the place along with some inspiring messages for our own future. Afterwards we went down to the springs of ein gedi, and spent some time in the waterfalls. Finally, we went way down to the lowest point you could go when we swam in the Dead Sea.

We then made the long drive down to Eilat (after stopping for Ice Cream in the Israel dairy factory, Yotvata). Since we got here, we haven’t had moments rest. Today we participated in banana boating and rafting before going on our party boat and swimming. We then spent some time in the famous Eilat Ice Mall, just to get out of the sun for a few minutes.

Our group has been bonding and having a great time in the sun of Eilat. Tomorrow we start heading back up to the center of the country, but not before our sunrise hike.

More updates and pictures to come. 

Best,
Rabbi Dov Pianko
