On Tour with Ashleigh and Morgan July 23



Wednesday, July 23rd:Group 8 davened Shacharit and ate breakfast on kibbutz and then hiked the Jilabun. From there they went to Kibbutz El Rom where the visited the Oz 77 monument on the very battlefield where the tanks clashed in 1973. There they also viewed a short film about the heroic Oz 77 Tank Brigade which fought against overwhelming odds to successfully defend the Golan during the Yom Kippur War. This afternoon they went to an overlook from Har Bental where they learned about the importance of the Golan Heights for Israel and viewed the area from the Gadot overlook. This evening they ate dinner and had free time in Tiberias before returning to Hanaton to prepare for the mega USY Event tomorrow afternoon!
