Navigate, Tel Saki, Rafting & Laser Tag

Good Morning!

Hope everyone enjoyed hearing their children’s voices on Friday.

The Pioneers had a relaxing Shabbat at Alon Tavor and were ready to get back in action Sunday. On ILEAD, every day is week and Sunday would be the beginning of them experiencing that concept.  They started off their day by understanding what life was like before Waze. They trained in navigation and learned how to navigate with their groups.

Thereafter they had a blast time rafting in Kfar Bloom except the rafts weren’t provided to them…. They created them.

They continued their journey to the Golan Heights where they learned the amazing story and battle of Tel Saki from the Yom Kippur War.

(Tel Saki, one of the first battles of the 1973 Israeli Yom Kippur War, a handful of Israeli paratroopers and armored soldiers stood their ground, fighting off thousands of Syrian troops for three days. Outnumbered 100 to 1, with barely any weapons, ammunition or food, they drew upon their love of one another and for the State of Israel to stop the Syrian army from entering Israel)

Then they had the opportunity for camouflage and compete in laser tag. Laser tag took place in ruins of the Golan Heights and they learned about the challenges that IDF faces daily from the terrorist organizations. For their fun and amazing journey you can check out the updated photos in our ILEAD 2019 Album.

Unified & Strong,

The ILEAD Team
