Day Two started off with breakfast at the Eden Hotel at precisely 700 am. Our bus came to pick us up at 745 where we headed to one of the holiest cities here - Tzfat. we began our journey by listening to an awesome Kabbalah speaker named Avraham Levinthal. it is safe ti say that we all felt inspired by his story and teachings. when we left his house we got to tour the amazing city, including two synagogues, a candle factery and a few art galleries. there are no words to describe how beautiful this city is.
Later on, the boys got to go to a Mikvah while the girls went to speak to glass-blower who moved to this country after reconnecting with her heritage after her college years at Princeton. Her pieces were absolutely gorgeous!
However, I would have to say that my favorite part of the day was overcoming my fear of heights and hiking the Mount Arbel.espite the fact I fell a few times and it took us nearly two hours to hike, it was riveting and I, personally, have never felt more accomplished in my entire life. I think this day has brought everyone a little bit closer and I hope everyone else feels the same.
As I sit here writing this, we are all getting ready for dinner in the city and for our first night out. I get more and more excited as I keep typing! hope everyone at home is enjoying their time because I certainly know we are:)
