Welcoming Shabbat, July 20

Friday July 20th 2018
Today we were up bright and early. We loaded our luggage into the bus and said goodbye to what was hands down the nicest place we had stayed at so far. The bus took us to an Arab village in Israel. There, we talked to Ofer who explained the Arab-Jewish conflict in Israel. We then spoke to kids our age who lived in the village, and after we spoke we played basketball with them. After that, we hopped back on the bus to go to Rosh HaNikrah, a grotto right near the border of Lebanon. The grotto was very cool, and when we finished our tour of it, our tour guide, Yossi, explained how to conflict between Israel and Lebanon began, and why it is so hard to come to a peaceful solution. After he spoke to us, we ate lunch right by the sea. After lunch we went to our new place of residence and checked into our rooms. We were given free time to relax or explore our new accommodations before Shabbat. We then enjoyed Kaballat Shabbat, Shabbat dinner and time with each other.
