Friday was a blast! After waking up and eating breakfast, we all hopped on the bus and headed towards the Dead Sea. The sea lived up to its reputation, for the salt left many in pain and several temporarily blind. I personally swam half way to Jordan in order to climb on a salt patch, but I was called back for obvious reasons. Around noon we left the sea and continued our journey to Jerusalem. At the hotel we had lunch and began meeting the other diaspora cohorts. We participated in several different services based on personal practices, which included meditation, reform, conservative, and orthodox. Meditation sounded interesting, but wound up being yoga. Having been tired because of all the fun activities, most retired and went to bed early. All the best!
Sincerely,
Matthew Weiner
