Group Sababa!

This is our group after we conquered two mountains!!

We had leaders from Kibbutz Yahel, who took us up Mt. Shlomo and on many other hikes. The kids and staff slept outside for three nights and they had a blast! It was so incredible to have this experience with them. We all grew a lot and really learned to be a community.

Our kids were amazing. They helped carry each other bags up the mountain, they held each others' hands on the way down to help stablize on the way down and they all encouraged each other. It was very physically challenging for everyone and they all this a great job!

NFTY digs Israel!

For four days, our camps split into chavayas or experiences. There was a culture one, tikkum olum (voluteering), Yom le Yom (hiking sea to sea), archaeology, and gadna (army).

I was in charge of archaeology for the four days (even though I signed up for all but that.) The kids had an incredible time for four days digging and finding ancient pottery and bones from 2000 years about near Beit Guvrin which is close to Kiriat Gat.


Our group in the bell caves!
