Taking a rest on the hike through the Arava desert
At the end of January our WUJS participants spent a special Shabbat on Kibbutz Ketura. This Shabbat was especially meaningful as it was one of the last Shabbatot of the program. Kibbutz Ketura is located in the Arava desert in Southern Israel about 40km north of Eilat. Its beautiful surroundings and warm community provided the perfect atmosphere for the Wujee's to spend their last few days together. Aside from going on some great hikes and spending a lot of quality time together, the participants also learned about kibbutz living; how the community lives together, the type of work that is done on kibbutz, and the complex issues that can arise in kibbutz life. It was a great time had by all and a weekend that will not be forgotten!
