Dead Sea Field Trip
This was our last full-day field trip of the semester; all that remains now are the two days we spend on our "Last Week Walk" going to Passion sites as the students' last experience after their final exams and before their departure.
For the Dead Sea Field Trip, we take the students of Masada, En Gedi, to swim (just float, actually) in the Dead Sea, and Qumran. For the history of and more background about these sites, look at last semester's post.
Here is today's highlight video:
Masada
In a later Byzantine church on top of Masada
The class "focus group," a.k.a. the "kitchen cabinet"
It is Passover week. Someone left a piece of matza on the site!
In the rebel's synagogue on Masada, where we had a short devotional where I talked about the value of human life in contrast to Josephus' mass suicide here
On of the Roman campus used in the siege
In the lowest tier of the hanging (northern) palace
Hanging with Kyle and Ethan
En Gedi
Caves such as the one where David found the sleeping Saul
With Brennan, "it's a hat thing!"
The Dead Sea
Mark reading a paper while floating
With Jon-Jon, Tuck, and Lizzy after digging in the "mud." Lizzie wines the prize, I think
David reading a paper
Rachel could be one of the students!
Brother Ludlow taking it easy
Qumran
One of the famous caves
It had been a long, hot day. Students are not too excited
Okay, here Kyle, Maddie, and Amanda give it the ol' college try
