It was July of 2013 when I went on the summer GoSephardic trip to Israel. it was the best summer I ever had and the best trip I've ever been on. Those 16 days were gold. From the very first day everyone in our group clicked. We were family.
3 years later we all stay in touch and we are closer than ever. These are my brothers and sisters, we are family. I've already been to Montreal and New York multiple occasions for weddings from our trip. The bond we established is so powerful, and it is all because of the rabbis.
Our trip was so spiritual and so everlasting, we laughed we cried and we partied together. We got to know each other on a deeper level, and most importantly we all delved deeper into our Jewish practice.
Everybody left that trip taking something positive away. From the midnight party at the Kinneret to the emotional speeches at the Bedowin tents, to the visiting of our forefathers in Chevron every moment was everlasting.
I would like to personally thank all of the rabbis from our trip; Rabbi Levy, Rabbi Dov, Rabbi Michael, Rabbi Sabbah and Rabbi Nissan Ahoobim. The 5 of you are a dream team. I love all of you very much. I hope that every Jew gets to experience what I did in the summer of 2013.
One of the most amazing experiences I had with GoSephardic was at the bonfire by the Sea of Galilee. We were singing and everyone became very emotional and started sharing their hardships and where they want to improve in life as well as connecting to G-D and thanking him for everything we have in our lives.
I always tell people that I've had an amazing times in my life and the GoSephardic trip summer 2016 tops it all.
Thank you GS
