JFK to Tel Aviv to the Desert



I got word this morning that all 25 men were accounted for in Tel Aviv and there was lots of excitement about what was ahead!  Tonight the pilgrimage team will stay in the desert - here's what the website has to say about their accommodations in a place called Kfar Hanokdim:

"Nestled in the Kana`im Valley in the Judean desert, between the city of Arad and the ancient citadel of Masada, there is a green oasis: Kfar Hanokdim.  Picturesque guest rooms, goat hair Bedouin tents, spacious lodges made of local stone, and inviting niches for lingering under the dappled shade of the palm trees and orchards.
Ever since Kfar Hanokdim was established in 1991 it has provided high-level personalized hospitality that allows each guest to experience the desert in the way they choose."

Hopefully, we will get some pilgrims reporting in about their experience - after their stay.  I believe there will be no cell/internet service in the desert.
