When most people talk about their favorite memories of Taglit-Birthright Israel, they mention the “highlights” including hiking Masada at sunrise, the beach in Tel Aviv and the Old City of Jerusalem. But when I think back on my trip, I remember the long bus rides and the constant extraordinary view from the window of the bus. On Taglit-Birthright Israel you drive through almost the entire country and the view from your bus gives you a fascinating peek into Israeli society and the beauty of the Land of Israel.
This past weekend I rented a car and took a three-day road trip to northern Israel and during the drive I was constantly reminded of my time on Taglit-Birthright Israel and my first impressions of this country, many of which were gleaned from hours staring out of the window of the bus.
I hope you enjoy some photos that were taken during my latest road trip up north, and when you’re on Taglit-Birthright Israel, perhaps you'll think twice about falling asleep on the long drive to your next destination and instead, you'll make sure to take in the view.
