We had a relaxing day in Eilat! It was Shabbat so pretty much everything in town was closed.
We woke up and did group yoga and then enjoyed some sun at the pool. After lunch, we all went to the beach and took a swim in the Red Sea. It was fun to swim around in the salty water which felt so good in the hot sun!
We then went back to the hotel and showered up. We did a short havdallah prayer to end Shabbat- we lit the havdallah candle, sniffed some mint plant, and had some wine while we sang a prayer. I haven't celebrated Shabbat in about 5 years so it was nice to be able to start celebrating again in Israel! We then went into the town of Eilat for dinner (falafel) and drinks!
I got to talk to the Israelis a bit at night and I learned so much about te IDF & life as a young adult in Israel. It was so eye opening & I am so grateful to have exposure to this culture.
Sending smiles from Eilat,
Rebecca
