July 12th



Today was HOT HOT HOT in Israel. First, the MBIers got a tour of the magnificent Herbet Midras caves, a 2000-year-old labyrinth, in which Jewish rebels hid from the Romans. This was yet another chance for them to connect to a beautiful and remarkable site from Israel's ancient history. This time though, they did it wearing headlamps! They had lunch at a park yum, yum.
After viewing the caves and hiking, the kids got a chance for fun and sun at the beach. Don't worry, we reminded them to put on sunscreen and drink plenty of water. The group had a conversation about responsibility and broke into Va’adot(working groups). They also ran Chuggim(interest groups) for one another ,After three very packed days of activity, the beach time was highly appreciated.
 The MBIers went to sleep tonight at Nes Harim, a nice youth hostel run by the JNF. They will be spending Shabbat at Yar Levi.
