We are finally in Israel! After twenty hours of traveling from Chicago to the southern tip of Israel at Kibbutz Ketura, everyone is happy to be here. We met our madrichim, Danielle and Eyal. Now the question is to sleep or not to sleep. Either way, we will begin the day at 7:30 a.m. with a hike up to an overlook of the Arava desert where we will absorb our natural surroundings as we do Shacharit (the morning service). I am grateful for this unique opportunity to experience Israel with the senior class of 2012. There is a wonderful feeling among this group that should continue to guide us as we explore the complexities of our beautiful homeland.
