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!"
