birthright

Birthright was amazing.  It’s impossible to sum it all up in a paragraph or a few pictures, but it is definitely a trip that I will remember forever.  We had a wonderful group of people from all over the united states and a great group of Israelis that joined us for a few days.  We hiked, ate more falafel than you can imagine, slept out in the freezing cold Negev, rode camels, floated in the dead sea, spent hours on a bus…..etc .  It was a great mix of touristy and non touristy things and although this was my 4^th time to Israel, I got to experience it in a whole new way with new people.
