Today marked the last day of Congress, and we all woke up early to say goodbye to the friends we'd made who stayed at our kibbutz, from Johannesburg (South Africa), Metrowest (New Jersey), Toronto, Eilat, Rishon-Lezion, and Beit Shemesh. After leaving the kibbutz, we ate hamburgers for lunch and then kayaked on the Jordan River. Post-kayak, we headed to the holy city of Tzfat, where we did a little bit of tchotchke shopping and then ate dinner, where most of us tried Yemenite grilled cheese. After dinner, we learned about how the prayers in torahs and mezuzah are written through videos, a quiz game, and even a 3-d ride. We then were able to try scribe writing ourselves using quill pens and parchment: it's harder than it looks! As our day came to a close, we stopped at our hostel near the Sea of Galilee and fell asleep.
