Friday, July 18th:Group 8 spent the day in the Carmel. Their first stop was a lookout point over Haifa from which you can see the port and the sea. Then they hiked in Nachal Kelach, and saw more of the gorgeous northern part of Israel. They ate lunch at the Usfia Druze Village where they were hosted to a delicious kosher Druze meal. It is in fact one of the food highlights of the summer. They heard an explanation about the Druze religion and were interested
in this small community with unique rules. They then arrived in Poriya where they will spend Shabbat and part of next week. They prepared for Shabbat with decorations, new songs, and looked their best for Kabbalat Shabbat. They are excited to have a day for rest and relaxation. Shabbat Shalom!

Samantha will tell you that the Druz food is delicious and Poriya is her favorite place for shabbat... we will have to wait and here what Ashleigh and Morgan have to say
News from the front... we did hear from Ashleigh and Morgan they are in love Poriya and want to run away and live there forever. Sam would probably go with them. Morgan did report that Ashleigh did a great job on Minha and that she will be leading Schacrit on Wednesday. Sunday is the Fast of Tamuz and they will be going to the Lebanon Boarder... we will be waiting for news from the front.
