Shabbat Shalom from Kibbutz Ketura

Well, we have officially been in Israel for a week now!!  It's been an exhausting and exciting time and we are looking forward to a very restful & relaxing Shabbat at Kibbutz Ketura.  Today we spent the day in Eilat doing water sports such as a type of banana boating, kayaking, paddling and then snorkeling.  It was much needed after the couple days in the Negev desert!

This year we also have a number of students who are going to try their best to observe Shabbat without using electronics, phones, turning on/off lights, etc.  They wanted to challenge themselves for the 25 hours and experience what it entails to try and keep Shabbat.  Tonight we are joining the Ketura community for services & dinner and I know that it'll be another special one.

Below are some random pictures throughout the week so enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!!
