My Experience

By: Molly Cohen, Bus 10

This trip has truly been one of a kind. I am extremely grateful that I was able to travel around and to Israel with my camp friends and people I’ve known my entire life. Even though the desert brought its challenges at the end of the day it was really fun and an experience I will never forget. The trip has brought our unit closer than ever before. During Gadna (army training) we learned what it was like to be a soldier and got to experience some of the training they went through. During this fourth and final week we have Israelis with us for part of it and we will learn about what their lives are like. I am excited to see what this next week brings and am sad we are leaving this beautiful place and each other soon.
