We left Jerusalem and headed up North where our first stop was an army base in the Galilee. This base serves as the central mainentace station for the Northern command. We were warmly greeted at the base by the commander, a colonel and many other officers. He explained to us the philosophy of the base and took us on a tour of the facility. We had the distinction of meeting the first woman who is about to be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the maintenance corps.
We then planted trees in the Galilee and said the prayer for planting trees in Israel that includes the section...make deep their roots and wide their crown, that they may blossom forth in grace amongst all the trees in Israel...
A drive to Tiberius and lunch on the Kinneret (Sea of Galileed) was followed by a much needed rest in order hotel in the North.
