It’s the end of another day and we know we’ve had a full day when we can’t even remember all that we’ve done today! In any event, I’ll try a quick summary….
We awoke to a brisk morning chill with a bright sun shining on the hills of Tzfat. We did a short walking tour of the town of Tzfat, including the Kabbalistic synagogue of the Lurianic Kabbalists and ending with shopping time through the artists’ colony of Tzfat. Our tour of the artist colony concluded with an interesting lecture by one of the kabbalistic artists who welcomed us to his shop and explained the art that he had produced inspired by his studies.
It was onward to a Druze village (a mystery faith) for lunch and then a short lecture near the border of Lebanon before we drove to the magnificent Hula Valley (Emek Hula) where we enjoyed a nature tour by golf cart. The sun was setting as we watched flocks of birds, wildlife of all types and many flowers, trees and lakes and canals. Dinner was interesting and delicious…a barbeque at a western-themed ranch with piped-in country-western music. Very unexpected in Israel!
Tomorrow we will try to have individual messages from the participants on the trip to fill this blog space. Stay tuned. In the meantime we’ll post a few pictures from today’s activities! Stay tuned!

We are enjoying following you around Israel. It seems like a fascinating and personally rewarding trip. Everyday, I rush to computer,move Chaz away from the screen and check the BLOG!
Love to all, especially Rhoda! Hope her back is OK!
Everything is fine back home.
