The Golan Heights

The Golan Heights is a very special place. There are many plants, mountains, rivers and beautiful waterfalls which create an amazing scenery. During the succot vacation, I went on a trip with the“mashtzim”, a youth movement . It was in the Golan Heights. As I said before, it is a very beautiful place, located in the northern part in our marvelous little country.

We were in the Golan Heights for two days. On the first day we hiked in “Yehudia stream”. When we entered the water it was extremely cold, and I was “freezing”.
The climbing was difficult, because the place contains many rocks. Then all of a sudden, I fell and as a result I began limping. Despite the unpleasant injury, it was a lovely, sunny day.

.
On the second day we visited Gamla. Nowadays Gamla is an archeological ancient city in the Golan Heights. When we were in Gamla we saw a synagogue which used for prayer until the destruction of the Second Temple. There are many eagles, and there for we had to keep silent.Gamla is a place, which I enjoyed visiting.

I recommend with all my heart to visit the fascinating Golan Heights. And
exploit every minute, because we may not enjoy this place in the years to come due to the dispute with the Syrians.

Very good work, May. Please correct your work.
Daphna.
