Tuesday, December 2
We will be doing two very special things:
One - We will visit the Renewable Energy Center on Mount Gilboa.
On this unique tour, we will learn about wind, solar, and water energy, and how they have made Israel the world's leader in these fields.
After descending from beautiful/biblical Mount Gilboa and the heights of cutting-edge energy technology, we will have lunch at the restaurant with the most fabulous view in the world.
We will dine (not included in the cost of the tour) at the beautiful "Rotem restaurant" in the Jordan Valley hilltop village of Rotem
After lunch, we shall be among the first to visit new pioneer farms above the Jordan Valley, where young families dedicate themselves to cultivating our land for Am Yisrael
By shepherding large swaths of land that would otherwise be occupied by Bedouins, agents of the Palestinian Authority, and their EU backers, they are literally securing our future in our land
We will have the honor to meet them and demonstrate our love and support for these young pioneer families..
They are thrilled to know we'll be coming to visit, to see that they are not alone in the struggle for our land.

A day in the Dead Sea area.
Meet at the Inbal hotel at 8:30 and return about 6:00
We begin our day with the descent through the Judean Desert which should be wearing its short lived but beautiful green coat and flowers at this time of year.
Our first stop will be the ancient (2000 years) synagogue at ein Gedi.
Its beautiful and mystical mosaic floor hints of closely guarded community secrets.
We then proceed to the shores of the Dead Sea where you can stroll along the waters or go all the way for a short float in the lovely seperate beach.
We will use this stop to enjoy our packed lunches.
Finally we will visit the new "Dead Sea research and visitors center"
Everything about the Dead Sea under one huge roof, including films and tours.
300 shekels
