Lovely article. Yes, hiking and seeing the sites connects you to history and creates a bond. I am planning aliyah with my family soon and I remember how my tiyulim in Israel inspired me when I was there 4th -5th grade. I am counting the days till I arrive and telling my kids of all the hikes/trips they will experience.

Thank you for all of the comments on this post.

We went on a significant amount of tiyulim on our last visit to EY. My favorite were in the North, especially in the Golan, especially water hikes. My wife and I brought our baby and put him in a 5-point harness baby carrier.

We went on the one hike called the Jalabun (or something like this) that was a water hike and at times, our baby was actually upside down as I grabbed for rocks to keep steady! It was quite an adventure and a sight.

There is a great summer program through Bnei Akiva called MACHACH where 11th graders go on hikes for 6 weeks all around EY.

A real dream of mine would be to one day be able to do the North to South hike that brings you through the entire length of EY.

Lovely post. Years ago, we walked so much in Eretz Yisrael, and now people are terrified. there are Jewish-Israeli children who have never really hiked in YoSH.

Yisroel, Thanks for this. As you know Rav Kook did something similar almost 100 yrs. ago. As it's his yartzeit 3 Ellul, this is perfect for the edition which will come out on the same day. :-}
