After we packed, ate breakfast and said our goodbyes to all of the friends we made at Congress, we were ready to leave Givat Haviva and continue our once-in-a-lifetime trip elsewhere. After a short bus ride, we were treated to a couple hours of free time on the main strip of Zichron Ya’akov. All that mattered was that we got to eat real food for the first time that week. Some of us had Italian food, some of us had shawarma, whatever it was, I can guarantee that we ate well, and that was all that mattered. After lunch, we got back on the bus and headed to a Kibbutz called Regavim to meet the Kiryat Gat coordinator's grandfather, who was a part of the Mossad and helped carry out an operation that brought thousands of Moroccan Jews to Israel. His story was truly remarkable. After hearing his story, we got back on the bus and headed for our campsite in the Carmel. That night, we had a barbecue with Hamburgers, hotdogs, and homemade french fries before sleeping under the stars. All in all, the day was fantastic.
