YBY1: Tel Dan, Kayaking on the Jordan River & Misgav Am!

July 11

Today was the second day we’re in Israel and it was a blast. First we had an early wake up, davened, ate breakfast, and headed out to a lookout of the Syrian border. There a few people living in the area shared their stories about their life. We took many pictures and bonded with our friends. Following this we took a bus to a water hike where we walked a little and then cooled off with a big water fight in a small pond (we even played shake and pop!). Next, we went rafting in the Jordan River. The water was very refreshing and we worked together in order to row all the way through the river. Finally, we returned to the hotel and had a delicious dinner. We davened maariv and watched a very eventful soccer game. During this time some of the girls had a very meaningful kumzitz outside followed by chaburas and chill time with friends.

Can’t wait for another amazing day in Israel tomorrow!!
