It is our last full day in Israel, and we have tried to make the most of it. This morning we went to Tiberias, to meet with the Jewish Agency's Sovev Kinneret branch. This is the partner agency to the UJFC (St. Paul Federation) through the Partnership 2000 program. They took us on a tour of a marvelous high school that includes special classes for at-risk teens, teaching them life skills and vocational trades. We had lunch with several lay leaders and discussed how we can strengthen the relationship between our communities. We also went through the oldest kibbutz in Israel and saw how it is modernizing. But the best part of the day was going to the chocolate factory on the kibbutz, where we got to see them making chocolate candies and then got to make some of our own. It was a very fun way to end a very fun trip.
We have had a wonderful time and don't want to leave, although it will be nice to sleep in our own beds again. We are already looking forward to our next trip back here. L'hitraot! See you again soon!
