Our students were excited to return to Tiferet this week, ready to jump back into learning after the Chagim. On Sunday though, we started with an amazing tiyul to the Yam Hamelach area. There we learned about the history of this region, both in Tanach and in modern times. We hiked and swam in the beautiful oasis of Ein Gedi, along the famous Nachal David trail. Our students were also privileged to daven Mincha at the remnants of a shul in Ein Gedi, over 1500 years old!  Finally, we traveled to Yam Hamelach, where our students enjoyed its unique waters. This fun-filled and interesting tiyul got us ready to start the zman on the right foot.
