Israel was a blast. I was back visiting friends I’d made in just 5 months but hadn’t seen in a year.
We drank, danced, played, worked, talked, laughed, lamented, explored, and ate a lot of hummus together.

Charly Visits – Jerusalem
Charly Comes To Town
My good friend Charlotte (Charly) came to visit last week. It was her first time in Israel but it was only for 9 days, so we had a lot of things to see and not a lot of time to do it. We traveled from all the way up in the Golan Heights, to all the way down to Makhtesh Ramon, and everywhere in between. But first, we started in Tel Aviv.
Makhtesh Ramon and the Negev
I got to explore the Negev last weekend with our program. From nearly falling off cliffs to breaking my phone to dancing on tanks to seeing a dead guy to eating way too spicy peppers, it was quite a 3 days.

Kibbutz Bar’am
Last weekend, I went with 10 other people from my program up north to spend the weekend on a kibbutz.
Hiking Har Carmel
Some photos from our hike up Har Carmel, near Haifa. It was a fun day that involved a Druze village, hardstyle, amazing falafel, and a really sketchy Sheirut ride. And we did it in shorts and t-shirts on December 5th.

Ein Gedi, Dead Sea, and a Dialogue Seminar
This past weekend, our program took a trip to Ein Gedi and the dead sea for some hiking, swimming, and two days of dialoguing with Israeli peers.
Haifa For The Weekend
Last weekend, a few us up took a trip up to Haifa to get away and explore.
Rock Climbing in Gita West
Saturday, I joined Alon and two other guys from the gym for a climbing trip up north. It ended in a fair bit of bloodshed. I made a brief video (no blood), and have a more detailed writeup with photos below.
Masa Mega Event and (Ha)Bibi
Sunday night was a Masa mega event in Jerusalem. The Prime Minister of Israel was there, along with thousands of young adults here on 5-10 month programs like me.
