Israel Day 6: Dead Sea, Party in the Desert

Drive South
Float at Neve Midbar Dead Sea Beach

Hike Masada and tour King Herod’s historic hilltop fortress, where a small group of Jewish zealots took refuge after the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 BCE, resisting a prolonged siege by the Roman army.

“Leadership Dilemmas” program at the bottom of Masada Sunset, “Havdalah” and reflection time (Hitbodedut). The ritual involves lighting a special havdallah candle with several wicks, blessing a cup of wine and smelling sweet spices.
