After Candle lighting, we were given several options of Shabbat activities; going to temple, discussions, yoga. I decided to go off on my own. It was golden hour, my favorite time of day, and I was in the desert.
Behind the rooms of the hostel where we were staying is a canyon and it's absolutely beautiful. I walked along the canyon, and soon ended up by Ben Gurion's grave. The area around his grave is beautiful; a desert oasis. There's grass and trees, and giant stones. I found a nice slab of stone away from the only other people there, an Israeli tour group that was being read an excerpt. In front of me was the canyon. To the right, I watched the sunset. The panorama at the top is an almost 360 degree view of where I sat. I sat there for a while, alone, feeling the desert in me. It was an absolutely perfect moment.
