Day 3: Masada and the Dead Sea

Today we started our day by waking up in the Bedouin tent! We ate a yummy breakfast there and got on the bus and headed to Masada. At Masada we hiked to the top of the mountain, did tefillah, heard our tour guide’s family connection to the Holocaust, took two minutes of silence to remember the Holocaust during the siren, and learned a bit about the history of Masada. We then ended our Masada tour by taking the cable car down. Next, we got back in the bus and drove up to the Dead Sea. There we had lunch and swam/floated in the sea. Then we got back in the bus and drove to Jerusalem. On our way to our hotel we stopped to see the beautiful view of the holy city. Once we arrived at the hotel we ate dinner and got settled into our rooms. We finished off the night by taking a walk to a nearby plaza and did an activity to prepare us for Yad Vashem tomorrow.
