Today we spent up north in the Galilee. We started our morning at the Sea of Galilee, the Kinneret, where we visited two important Christian sites- Mt. Beatitudes and Capernaum. We learned about the history and life of Jesus and where the major events in his life occurred in Israel. There were many Christian groups at the sites we visited from all over the world.
Next we drove to the city of Tzefat (Safed), which is known as the city of Jewish Mysticism, Kabbalah. We saw 2 famous synagogues and we were also able to visit a candle factory and walk in the artist quarter. Tzefat is built on a mountain, so we walked a lot of steps, and it was a very hot day. The students ate some delicious ice cream and drank fresh fruit smoothies.
We left Tzefat and headed back to the Kinneret to enjoy a fabulous meat and grilled chicken dinner on the lake. After dinner we drove to the Kibbutz where we had some great free time before lights out running and playing ball or relaxing with friends.
