This past August, I spent ten (words can not describe my feelings) days in Israel on a Birthright trip of religious intent, or should I say, a religious group, that was co-ed. I took about 1000 pictures and videos. Many will be put on shmsoft.com/yosef in the coming weeks.
Israel was lovely and awe-inspiring. Birthright is a splendid program. The amount of activities that we did truly gave a full sense of the land, from exploring archaeological digs near the Kotel, to passing by miles of vineyards in the Golan Heights, to praying at the kotel, to floating in the Dead Sea, where, truth to tell, the water is 80 degrees and it's hard to stand in the water, there is so much salt. Aside from the need to keep one's head above water, it is a pleasure to just float, no matter how heavy one is, in water that is self-supporting.
Visit Piony's Journal for the best 15 shots, as chosen by piony, and I will upload the same in the original sizes soon.
