The MBIers were busy having fun experiences on their various Kibbutzim. Below I will list a glimpse into some of the activities that took place on each Kibbutz. Given that there are 8 Kibbutzim, they all are having varied, but similar experiences will slightly different schedules.
On Kibbutz Afikim the MBIers woke up early to some work doing some landscaping, cleaning up and pruning some trees on a nearby orchard on the Kibbutz. Later on they set off for a tiyul which included going Kayaking on the Jordan River. They also will be sleeping out under the stars with their new Kibbutz friends as part of the tiyul.
Today Bet Haemek set off for their tiyul which included going to the Achziv beach on the Kinneret to both relax and to take in some fun water activities. They also slept out on the banks of thr Kinneret where they a bonfire, sang songs and enjoyed the starry sky above.
On Maayan Baruch they actually headed into a nearby forest to take part in a day of "Survivor". Many different games and competitions took place in this day of outdoor fun and bonding.
Shaar Hagolan went on a Jeep tour of the Golan and later on went Banana Boating on the Kinneret.
Metzuba had a more relaxed enjoying the amenities of the Kibbutz and enjoying swimming in the Kibbutz pool among other activities. At Kibbutz Kinneret they too had a time to swim, play and enjoy the pool. Later on they had a learning tour about Naomi Shemer who is a famous Israeli singer and songwriter who is from the Kibbutz and passed away several years ago. Lastly Kibbutz Ammiad also had a tiyul where they went to the Chof Chalukim at the Kinneret and took part in various water activities. They too had the thrill to also sleep out on the banks of the Kinneret.

Michael, Shalom rav. Thanks for the great updates, so very helpful, on the MBI itinerary. Could you please tell us which kibbutz Eli is staying on. We have a friend who lives in the north, a retired Israeli schoolteacher, who wants to see him. She lives near to Kibbutzim Bet HaEmek and Ma'ayan Baruch. Todah! Mindy
