Today was a crazy busy day! We woke up at 4:30 am to set off to Masada. We packed all our bags and prepared for our last day of kennes. After a quick coffee, we headed off to hike Masada. We ate a quick(sandwich) breakfast and started our assent as a group of 200. Once at the top of Masada, we broke off into our color groups (go orange!) and participated in an educational activity. We discussed the History of Masada, though we had little time to look around, and took some color group pictures. We then all took the cable car down the mountain and met up in classrooms to reflect on the kennes. We dissected all of the activities we did with great depth. Then we were very excited to have a delicious meal (after many sub-par meals at kennes) with juicy, dark red watermelon. After lunch, we made a trip to the Dead Sea where we got to slather ourselves in soothing mineral packed mud right from the shore. We also got to float in the very warm Dead Sea. After that amazing experience, we headed to the upper galilee where we would finally meet our partners! Once we arrived in the upper galilee, we had a fantastic and welcoming dinner. Dinner was followed by creative opening ceremonies. After the ceremonies we each left and went home with our partners and their families. It was wonderful to finally be reunited with our partners and we can't wait for all of the amazing things to come in community week!
