Day 3 and 4 for our families in Israel

Israel Day 3
Wednesday, June 25

The group took a guided visit to Caesarea, one of the Land of Israel's most important cities during the Roman Period; they visited the Herodian Theater and new excavations along the Mediterranean shore concluding with a visit to the 900-year-old Crusader city built on the same site.
 
The adults also took a guided visit to Zichron Ya'acov, one of the first communities established by the early Zionist pioneers, which included a walk along the colorful Pedestrian Mall and a wine tasting at the famous Carmel Winery.
 
The kids walked through the 2,000-year-old underground water tunnels at Park Alona, which once brought water to Caesarea.

In the afternoon, all of the families wound their way through the alley ways of Tsfat, uncovering the hidden words, secret codes, and mystical messages on a family scavenger hunt through the Old City of the ancient Kabbalists.

Israel Day 4
Thursday, June 26

This morning, the families took an off-road Jeep tour up the Golan Heights in the footsteps of Israeli soldiers and their battles in the Six-Day War. They were able to gain an insight into the strategic complexity of the Golan.
