On Friday afternoon, Racheli and I went on a hike with our next door neighbors to a beautiful spot called Agam Motza - the Beit Zayit reservoir. It's just under Beit Zayit, hidden in the hills between Ein Karem and the Sorek Valley. There's a man-made dam there and the water backs up into a sweet lake, with lush foliage on the banks. As we're in the midst of the rainy season in these parts, the banks were super muddy. We spent 2 hours sloshing around in the mud with plenty of flops and giggles.

Just above the banks of the dam is a moshav called Beit Zayit, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the area. One of the families of Beit Zayit owns a horse farm, and the girls had a wonderful time going up to see the horses.

Take a look at what Racheli is holding in this photo - it's a porcupine quill!
Thanks to Don who held down the fort for the few hours before candlelighting so that Racheli and I could go on this completely rejuvenating hike and come into Shabbat with clear minds and plenty of energy.
