Welcoming Shabbat!

After a very mentally and emotionally taxing day at Yad Vashem, we used Friday as a release and went to a nature reserve (insert name of place) to hike. The cohort warmed up with some static and dynamic stretching to get loose. This was directed at LJ, our "grandpa", who has trouble with cramps. We proceeded to hike around the reserve, seeing a fresh water pool and archaeological sites from the Philistines. From there, we looked out over the valley and were able to see a Lebanese town (raja?). Our next destination was river rafting where we also had one of the better meals of the trip, i.e. pizza. We rafted in groups of 5 for an hour with the group of Emma, Jillian, Micah, Jacob and Sarah winning the "race" to the end. Jack, Mike, LJ, Alex, and Charlie are still salty over the close loss. From rafting, we went back to the kibbutz to get ready for Shabbat. During Shabbat, the Dillers were split into groups and created parody songs relating to Diller. Ending with a Maagal, the cohort finished the long and tiring day.
