Traveling Through Israel (and Beyond!)

Stealing a kiss at the Hagai Sophia!
Chag pesach sameach l'kulam!
Happy Passover to everyone!

An amazing thing happens in Israel during Passover. Everyone takes off for the holiday and travels throughout the country. The roads, hotels, trails, national parks, and camp grounds are all packed with families spending quality time enjoying the country and each other. We had the great opportunity of getting to participate in the fun and went up North to the Kinneret with Gavi's Israeli family. We stayed at a youth hostel, ate delicious kosher for Passover buffet style meals, and went on hikes through some absolutely beautiful parts of the country.

And then we got home and realized that it was the first time since January that we had a significant amount of free time! And after receiving a number of requests, petitions, and inquiries about our next blog post, we figured this would be a good time to give the people what they want.

The last few months have brought an incredible amount of important, powerful, and fun Israeli experiences. We will do our best to catch you up on our travels and learning since we last updated.
