Sunday, July 25, 1999 On the Lebanon Border

ISRAEL TOUR July 19 - August 2, 1999

Temple Adat Shalom Congregational tour hosted by Rabbi Deborah R. Prinz and Rabbi Mark Hurvitz and guided by Walter Zanger

Visit Zefat the city of mystics; Malkiyya along the border with Lebanon; kayak down the Jordan river; explore the Golan Heights in jeeps to learn about the history of the wars with the Syrians. Overnight in Kibbutz Nof Ginnosar.

 

Danny Wilson reported on the day

Then we drove to another kibbutz [Malkiya] and Rabbi Jonathan Matt came onto our bus and we drove all around the kibbutz and Jonny told us all about it. Rabbi Jonathan Matt looks a lot like Dr. Marshall Littman

Then we drove to a military base where they don't usually let tour groups there because it's right on the Lebanon border. The lady who greeted us

explained that this was her last day from two years of her service. Most of the kids got their picture taken with the soldiers or the kids holding a M16. We went into their living quarters

We even played a little basket ball there.

Then they let us look around their look-out bunkers and we saw how they looked down onto the border of Lebanon. After that the soldier hid a non-active mine and Rabbi Prinz used a metal detector to find it. She didn't find it.
