January 13, 2009, 17 Tevet 5769
We arrive at the feild school on Monday evening and were treated to an Israeli dinner with schnitzel, Israeli salads and oriented ourselves to our new location. Everyone went to their rooms and when we woke up, we were treated to a beautiful morning in the Golan! The days touring included Tel Dan national park where we discussed the importantance of natural resources, particularly water. We began a discussion about Jewish history, putting Israel in the context of 3,000 years of history. We toured the region on Jeeps following important paths from the Six Day War. We went to the Naot Factory/Outlet Store and toured the Golan Winery. We concluded the days touring at a military bunker, from which we could see Israeli's border with Syria and Lebanon. It was a great day! Looking forward to tomorrow and updating you about our travels again in a few days!
