Loren and our friend Scott took our collective kids to Ne'ot Kedumim. This is a Biblical Landscape Preserve with amazing activities! There are gardens grown according to their description in the Bible, as well as other agricultural and biblical experiences...sans Sodom of course. They were shown around by another Ramah Wisconsin friend. Simcha was a great educator when I was a camper there, and he is still going strong here in Israel and at camp!
He developed the educational setting in this biblical garden. During Sukkot, there are models of all of the strange and possible sukkot mentioned in the mishnah.
Everyone was allowed to pick an Etrog...they were as big as Amalya's head! The preserve holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest Etrog: about 15 lbs! Elan also discovered the delicious taste of carob right off the tree! That boy is on his way to healthy eating whether he wants it or not! It is his destiny!!!
The kids spent the day here and only got to do about 10% of the activities. Next time we rent a car...gotta go back!
Because herding goats and sheep is fun!
