final poem

our trip to israel is far from being a finished topic!

allow wonder-woman sarah kadis to paint a picture of our experience with the fly poem that she threw together on the last night…

“It started way back in NYC

When we didn’t know we were going to make Livnot history

We were greeted with pastry it was plain to see

That every blessed moment of this trip, food it would be

We started off with the Old City Jerusalem and a trip to the wall

Followed up by personal challenge we were provoked through the tunnels and caves we would crawl

We were shown the land, the people and the amazing past

As we drove over hills we were wondering how to make all this last

As the days continued on, tired and weary we drew

But the spirit, emotions and humor never went blue

At first we all thought a 4:00 am hike was insane

But as we climbed the mountain with the sunset on our backs, we all knew why we came

The memories that we made are never going to die

Like when Dan got locked in his room and was left out to dry

Hummus and Pita seem to be the theme of the trip

When you see Josh has invented the “Hummus Shake”, we all will know the kid has surely flipped

The north has shown us all a different side of Jewish life

Between the ancient synagogues, art, Kabbalah and the Jewish people’s strife

As this day nears end we can only look back and smile

Because we know that we will meet up again somewhere, somehow in a short while

Our days here in Israel will forever be engraved in our hearts

Thanks to our fearless leaders with their intuition, intelligence and smarts

We are leaving this trip with a greater sense of who we are

The memories, friends and connections we have made will never drift far

Remember what you have learned in this great land of pride

For that feeling of happiness, joy and love will never subside

Lets keep in touch for years to come

Thank you for 2 amazing weeks of thinking, soul, perseverance and most importantly fun!”
