Going Back to Biblical Times

A couple of weeks ago, we had our first official weekly Siyur (trip).  Each Tuesday we will be going on a day trip as a group to experience some awesome places in Israel.  The first trip we took was to Neot Kedumim, a Biblical Landscape Reserve.  Check out their website.  Here we did some team building activities after what felt like going back in time to Biblical days.  As you can see from the pictures below we had quite a lot of fun, especially when we had to herd sheep and goats across a field.  They were pretty stubborn though...  At the end of our adventures we made pitot (plural for pita).  It turns out there was a large group finishing a meal and they gave us all of their leftover food.  It was quite a spread of a few different salads, a delicious dill dip, chickpeas, carrots, rice, and more!

Finished Pita and I'm pretty sure that's dirt on my neck under my necklace... gotta love the outdoors
