Post from some time in middle of the trip


Austin Masket

When I was on the web site reading about mayanot birthright I remember it talking about having the best time of your life with 40 of your new best friends.  I doubted it at the time but I am a true believer now.  I really love all of these people.  We are having so much fun doing everything.  Last night was a blast and the days are a great time as well.  I am most excited for the rafting trip today.  I am definitely going to extend my trip and come back to Israel as soon as possible.  I love this place and I am so grateful to have this experience. I hope the rest of the trip is as good as the last couple of days have been.

When all of my friends talk about Israel I never imagined that everything they said – the great food, the nice people, the fun experiences, would be as amazing as they said. Israel is such a dynamic country, the history, culture and religion is everywhere. Mayanot has provided much insight toward my understanding of being Jewish. Today our group of 40 has added 8 more with the presence of our new Israeli friends. I am currently sitting next to Daniel, who is so nice and wears such a fantastic smile! I know with her help my Hebrew will definitely improve

Shabbat Shalom

Day 2 - Aislyn


I will start by saying that I grew up in the city with very little access to nature. Im not used to, and I often have a selective fear of heights.
Well, today we went hiking which involved climbing up rocks, jumping over rivers, and what seemed like scaling the side of mountains and I LOVED IT!! I spent the two hours hiking next to our guide, running up mountains and jumping over rocks. For a city girl, it was quite
