WAW: Tuesday’s Travels

February 2, 2011Leave a Comment

The magic continued as we travelled passed Ma’aleh Adumim back in time to Erez Bereshit. We met Damesec Eliezer and Avraham Avinu, sat in Avraham’s tent, and baked pita on a fire. The highlight of today was when each of our teens got to ride on a camel. It was a scene not to be believed. Teens with no use of their legs were sitting on camels. Tears rolled down the faces of our Moms, who could never have imagined that they would see their kids experiencing Israel and having fun like ‘normal teenagers.’

From there we travelled to an army base, the elite Kfir unit of the IDF, which was very inspiring. Learning how the soldiers train, live, and sacrifice to protect the Jewish people was eye-opening. The soldiers spoke to our group about their daily schedule, responsibilities, and what makes their unit unique.

We accomplished things on this trip that the teens, in their wildest dreams, could have never imagined. The singing, dancing, energy, and liveliness that we bring wherever we go is felt by all.
