Today was exciting, fun, strenuous and...wet. We started off the day driving into the Golan Heights and hiking along the Chatzbani River. We trekked through water and over rocks, all while admiring the beautiful scenery.
After lunch we went rafting in Kfar Bloom. Battle lines were drawn and bounties were set as we made our way down the Jordan River, racing each other and storming each other boats in an attempt to overthrow Rabbi K and DJ. We all emerged wet and victorious.
Once we had all dried off, we drove further up the mountains to Mitzpe Gadot, a Syrian bunker the Israelis captured in 1967. We learned about the history of the Golan Heights, and heard the story of Eli Cohen, a spy for Israel who was instrumental in the victory of the war, who was caught and murdered by the Syrians.
We ended our day by going over our entire trip with maps, marking all of the places we traveled to, then performed skits to re-enact all of our favorite moments.
