JITLI: The third Day jitli summer trip was a Friday

The third Day jitli summer trip was a Friday
Know the other through religion

The second night passed quietly, except for group of participants smoking hookah (shisha ).
The excuses for the Jewish guys who brought the hookah were that this is a sure way to approach the Bedouins and that was the main purpose for smoking. Despite the convincing argument smoking Hookah was banned during the journey.
We started the morning with a walk along the Banias River on its new hanging bridges. It was very nice track, noise and intensity of water flow in summer it was foreign to residents of the Negev. From there we drove to the Banias River sources, we saw and learned about this sacred place. Here we divided into four groups and each group filmed a documentary video clip that connected the Banias River and coexistence problems. The participants were creative and excited and interest and so were the products that were produced.

The participation of the Hanichim in the video production was full, some in photography and some were acting and some in organization and cooperation and consideration each other was full.
Afternoon in the woods near the Banias River sources, a group of Muslim participants explained us the essence of Muslim Pray. And also they prayed for all of us to Alla. These were very touching moments with a special atmosphere.
From there we drove to the city of Kabbalah, Safed . We toured the Mount Kna'an and the Independence War Memorial on its top. The monument was dirty and neglected. Under the monument there is a rock-hidden in a pit where Safed Jewish residents come to pray and to be with their God. We entered the pit we were in darkness, and then we began to sing. Part of the songs were religious songs and part was nonsense songs.
The singing of Jitli group in this place under the ground in Zefat the Kabalim city brought us together, with sensations incomprehensible (to me) of holiness.
Then we toured the ancient alleys of Safed before the Sabbath entered, few people were rushing in the streets
Jonathan Foreman, the friend of Eran our guide who was penitent) hosted us in his home .He told us his life story and the reasons that caused him to be a religious man. Through my eyes the crises he went through - of his mother's death and his brother death in a car accident left him with many questions unanswered. Partial answers, again in my eyes Jonathan found in religion. However Jonathan is impressive man he spoke with soothing voice of a man who is really a believer.
From there we went back to the streets of Safed, Old City, and near the old mosque in the city the Hanichim spoke about their feelings after their experiences during the day. "The first time we participated in a Muslim prayer ""First time I spoke with an Orthodox Jew with wigs" "I did not understand what the meaning of the Muazzin voices sound ( the man who call the Muslim prayer to come to the mosque) across the border".
In the evening the Jewish participants made Kiddush" for Shabat in the dining room.
We attended the evening in a cultural way; each group expressed its culture passages (see videos).
Hezi brought two chocolate cakes to mark the birthday of Chen and Dory.
The Saturday program was scheduled to begin at 10:00 am.
The questions came to mind while writing this blog:
1. What's the role of God in human history?
2. What is common in all Monotheistic religions, those who believe in one

God?
3. Is being a religious believer in the 21st century a weakness or strength?
