Trips and Simcha Leiner

Today was anther fantastic day on Michlelet! We got up early this morning and headed to 5 different amazing trips. Girls chose between, Shiloh, Ein Gedi, Masada/Dead Sea, Tel Aviv and a Masada sunrise trip. The Shiloh trip was a very special experience that the girls really connected to. We took a tour of Shiloh where the mishkan once stood, sang songs and connected to the Kedushah of the makom. Then we went to a community called Givat Olam to each lunch and meet some of the people who lived there. One of the women told us her Aliyah story from California when she was younger. After that we went sheep herding!! We had so much fun trying to keep the sheep in line learning to work as a team. The Ein Gedi trip had a great time in the water and then went to an archeological dig where they dug up interesting artifacts and had a blast! The Masada/Dead Sea trip started their day with the cable cars up Masada with a tour at the top. After they enjoyed some time floating in the Dead Sea. The girls on the Tel Aviv trip spent some time relaxing on the beach. They also had a graffiti tour through the streets and paid a visit to the Ben and Jerrys Factory. The early-risers who did the sunrise hike on Masada left Reishit at 3 am. They hiked up Masada, had a tour and hiked back down. After they went to Ein Pashcha and splashed around in the water a bit to relax from their long morning. All trips came back to Reishit for a BBQ dinner outdoors and then a Simcha Leiner concert!! It was a busy and energy filled day for everyone!!
