Our first day in Israel has been amazing! We landed at Ben Gurion airport and met Andrew, the JC Mentor who will be joining us throughout our trip, Ori, our tour guide for the first travel portion, and Leah, the Diller Coordinator mentor. After collecting our luggage and heading through customs we headed towards beautiful Tel Aviv. The view of the beach was absolutely breathtaking as the sun set on the Mediterranean Sea.
When we arrived at our hotel, we quickly dropped off our bags in our rooms and heading to a yummy dinner. After dinner we had a quick ma'agal laila (night circle) because we are all tired. As an exciting surprise, I gave everyone a piece of Elite Milk Chocolate with Popping Candies. It was great to see everyone's surprise when the candies started to pop in their mouths. This serves as a symbol for the excitement and surprise that we have in store on our trip. Lindsy then led a discussion on our personal dreams for the trip to tie into our overall narrative. After we finished our ma'agal laila we said our goodnights and heading off to bed.
