Day Five - Monday, October 29, 2012

Our morning began with a presentation from David Horovitz, author of "A Little Too Close to God: The Thrills and Panic of a Life in Israel," and former editor of the Jerusalem Post. He provided perspectives including the current political climate in Israel, Israeli opinion regarding the Unites States Presidential election, and the Middle East situation.

We left Jerusalem and visited the Ella Winery on Kibbutz Netiv Halamed Hey, established by a Napa Valley vineyard owner in order to create a true-blue Israeli winery. After our visit we headed to Arad for "Delaware Day" which included a presentation from the Negev Funding Coalition, meeting some of the Gesher Program participants and a visit to the Youth Outreach Center where we met some of the children and participated in a couple of projects.

Our dinner was at the base of Masada where our delegation was met with a bus of Arad residents who joined us for dinner. It was a great way to end a memorable day.
