For Onward Israel, our program coordinators plan weekly meetings
and an excursion every Wednesday. This week, we talked about Israel's
borders and how they've changed throughout a history of wars and treaties. My
group got into a heated conversation about the Israeli Palestinian conflict, in
which we discussed what Israel's
borders should look like. This activity was a great way to learn about Israel's history and acknowledge the group's
different reflections on Israel.
On Wednesday, the program took a two hour bus ride to go
hiking in the Golan. It was a sunny day in Israel,
and I was eager to see the natural beauty of Israel's northern countryside. The
remarkable views of the hike was just half of the fun--we hiked to a natural
pool of water where we went swimming under a waterfall! The cold water felt so
good on this hot day, and the hidden pool surrounded by nature was picturesque.
Shalom for now!
