By Mya Levin, NFTY in Israel Participant, Bus 3
Hi, my name is Mya Levin and for my chavaya I chose Yam l’ Yam, also known as Sea to Sea, which is a four day hiking trip from the Sea of Galilee to the Mediterranean. We literally jumped right in! We took a very exciting stroll through a Nile, and by through, I mean we were legitimately inside of the water. Some of us even dunked our heads, which was the most refreshing feeling we felt in a long time. Immediately after, we arrived at a very cute campsite, where we were joined by other NFTY in Israel members, who weren’t even a part of our bus. Blasting old town country music, I felt the urge to invite everyone to dance. I could already tell that this was going to be an amazing group of people and an amazing experience just by the first few hours we spent together. After downing some awesome veggie soup, and truly believing that was going to be our dinner for the night, we were blessed with a massive feast. With overly salted potatoes, incredible rice, and mysterious meat patties, both Bus 3 and Bus 4 got a chance to immediately bond with one another. I was so proud to be a part of something that hadn’t even truly begun. I knew no matter what happened, the experiences we’d face on our journey together would last a lifetime.
