On Sunday, we all met up again after our Passover break and went to the North to Tzfat.
Tzfat
In Tzfat we rewinded a bit in our history timeline and talked about the birth of Kabalah. We went to a beautiful Sephardic synagogue in Tzfat (pictures below). We heard mystical stories of such 'coincidences', that have apparently happend in Tzfat.
Next we went to a small town called Rosh Pina and discussed the arguably failed First Aliyah to Palestine.

Yom Tov
The next day was the last day of Pesach. We had a nice Chag together as a group after our week away. We had a lot of free time and reflection periods with our group.
Tiberias
Monday night was the last day of Passover. To celebrate the occasion we went on a 'disco boat', on the Kineret!! It was a lot of fun! Afterwards, we had a free night in Tiberias. Although you don't even feel like it is Passover in Israel, we had such a relief when we broke Passover off of pizza and milkshakes.

On Tuesday, we started on Har Chai and spoke about the Second Aliyah, the true pioneers of Israel as a nation. We discussed the idea of dying for your country and how it would probably be better to live for your country and how lucky we are to even have a country to live or to die for.

We had such a great time Tuesday afternoon kayaking through the Jordan River. Throughout our kayak ride we had a riff off and water fights with the other boats. We had water guns with us to help us along the way!! After kayaking we headed back to Jerusalem on a 3 hour bus ride.
