Saturday January 13 – Shabbat

Perfect sunny winter day! Temperatures in high 60’s. This is a day that we enjoyed doing our own thing. Some took walks, some rested up and others enjoyed Mozart – another classical concert followed by a ‘light snack”!

In the afternoon, some of us toured the Kibbutz. Our guide was perfect for our group – knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Did you know that the Kibbutz was named after a Jewish Prime Minister of France back in the late 20:s? We enjoyed a lovely walk around the kibbutz along the River Jordan. Beautiful scenery and serene or Pastoral, some may say!

Neil conducted Havdalah – very memorable – dinner and rest for a busy week.

Shavuah Tov!
