After another early wake Up we traveled to Kever Rachel where we said tehillim in the merit of Rachel. From there we moved on to the Gush! We started our adventures there by visiting an inclusive kibbutz. We split in 2 groups to explore the kibbutz. We visited some of the animals, planted trees and participated in a music class. From there we went to Daels house (one of our Israeli tour guides) to have a shwarma and falafel lunch. While in the Gush, we took the opportunity to visit Machon Tzomet, a company that creates electrical devices that can be used on Shabbat. It was an interactive discussion where we got to see a number of their products. We also took some time to learn Torah before going on with our day! We ended our day in the Gush in Kfar Etzion to learn about the history of the kibbutzim in the Gush. After returning to our hotel we ended the night with a movie in our pjs! Early wake up tomorrow since we trek out to Eilat!
