Shalom TJJ Bus 5 Family,

On Thursday we made our way to the Center of Israel. Before we arrived at our respective free weekend locations we went rappelling in the world famous Ramon Crater. TJJers and staff got over their fears and experienced the thrill of gliding down the crater’s wall. It was an experience that they will never forget. Following rappelling we went to Emek Ha’Elah where we went on four wheel drive jeeps through the beautiful valleys were David led the Jewish Nation in battle against the Philistines. We drove through the site where David and Golaith battled and went inside the caves from the Bar Kochbah revolts.

Hard to believe the weekend is already here but we look forward to seeing each other again on Sunday (Day 12).

Shabbat Shalom!

Rabbi Mike
