Each year The King David School 8th Grade Students culminate their Jewish community day school experience with a two-week trip to Israel. This blog provides the students with the opportunity to be teachers to their schoolmates, friends, and families by sharing their thoughts, newly acquired knowledge, and personal experiences during the trip.

Day 2 - The Golan Heights
What a day (read more specifics below)! Also, from here on out we'll be having guest postings from our students (now that they're somewhat on Israel time). Our first posting is from Sabrina...you'll probably be able to tell; she had quite the day!!!

Israel has been amazing so far today. Went hiking in the GolanMountains and the view was so beautiful. We got to see the Sea of Galilee and believe me it was so beautiful that we all took so many pictures for everyone to see! We also went on an amazing jeep tour of the mountain range. What made the jeep tour so much fun was that it was so bumpy and everyone in my jeep wasn’t really looking at the scenery we were all laughing at each other because we were bumping all over the place.
After our 2 ½ hour jeep tour we had lunch… and what a lunch it was! We had chicken on the grill, hot dogs with French fries, rice and burgers. After lunch and our sweet jeep tour, the highlight of the day was going kayaking in the Jordan. We got changed into our water gear and climbed into the kayaks. The kayaking had to be the best part of the trip so far. I loved it. It was so much fun in the water. It was so cool… and I very much enjoyed the great view from the river.
Today has been so full of excitement and I can’t wait to go get a good night sleep. Hands down the kayak was the best part of today. We’ve taken so many photos I can’t wait to show you them all.
