Todays my third full day on MBI. I’ve met a lot of new people from all different Habonim camps. It’s so interesting learning how all the different camps do Habo differently. I’ve also had lots of fun in my Kvutzah where I can connect to my friends on a more serious level. We went archaeological digging at Tel Maresha where we also got to travel through a beautiful cave system. Once we got back to the hostel, a bunch of us played sports together which was a great bonding experience for me. It’s also been awesome going between hostiles and seeing what life is like on different kibbutzim. Also, driving and hiking through Israel is really eye opening and is almost surreal. I’m excited to visit some of the major cities, because I feel like that will really tie the Israel experience together. I look forward to continuing this journey with people from my international kvutza.
