Day 10: Sunrise Hike and Negev Farm By: Ari Bertman
TJJer Spotlight: Ari Bertman Today we woke up at 4 to go on a sunrise hike in Eilat. I was not looking forward to waking up early and then climbing a mountain half asleep, but once I was at the top of the mountain looking at the beautiful sunrise it made me feel extremely connected…
Day 9: Eilat! By: Liat Schiowitz
TJJer Spotlight: Liat Schiowitz Today we went to Eilat. We went banana boating, tubing, kayaking and paddle boating. After the water sports we went on a yacht and then jumped off and simultaneously yelled “I love myself”. Saying this represents that you have to love yourself before you love anyone else, even g-d. We then…
Day 8: Dead Sea and Masada!
Today was a fun filled day! We started off the morning by “hiking” up Masada. It was too hot outside so instead of walking up the mountain we took the cable car up and down. It was so interesting to hear about our Jewish History and to learn about how the Jews lived on Masada.…
Day 7: Tzfat and Paint Night!! By: Ariel Eskin
TJJer Spotlight: Ariel Eskin Today, we were in the holy city of Tzfat where we learned many things. Rabbi Nissel joined our group and taught us about the importance of living our life to the fullest according to the Torah. He also was there to schmooze with whoever wanted to learn with him about Kabbalah…
Day 6: Misgav Am, Kfvar Kedem, and the Stechler Family!!

First shabbos on TJJ! By: Dasha Belousova
TJJer Spotlight: The first Shabbat in Israel on TJJ was just unreal, it was nothing that I thought it would be. We first started with the candle lighing and then welcomed Shabbos by sitting on the beach of the Kineret while Rabbi Arieh told us an amazing story about how it’s never too late to…
Day 4: aquakef and water hike!
We kicked off Friday with an awesome trip to Aquakef! There we climbed, jumped, and swam on a blown up water jungle gym on the Kineret! It was a blast and refreshing considering the heat! We then made our way to a water hike. The water began at our ankles and then made its way…
Day 3: Jilabun, chocolate factory, party boat, and human guess who!
What a jammed packed day here on TJJ bus 4! We began our day hiking the Jilabun mountain. We ended up at a waterfall and got to cool down in it! We then made our way to De Karina- Israel’s famous chocolate factory. We saw how they made chocolate and got to make our own.…
Day2: Rafting, hiking, and appreciation program!
What a terrific day 2 over here in North Israel as we jammed out to uplifting tunes while literally building our own barrel made water rafts to race through the the great Kinneret Lake. After that we hiked trough the refreshingly cold, toe tickling water path via a submerged in the heart of a beautiful…
