Ofek: Agriculture on Kibbutz Ravid

Ofek has begun and the shnatties are currently split up all over the country. Talia, Amy and Sophie are studying at Bina in Tel Aviv, Noah, Max, Alex and Chantal are beginning their five day backpacking trip, and Harry is on Kibbutz Ravid, working in the orchards there.

On Ravid, Harry and the American shnatties is with up and heading to the fields by 5:30, where they are currently working pruning fruit trees. They break at 11:30, and then have time for lunch and resting. In the afternoons, they have peulot (activities) run for them, either by their madrichim, by the people who run the orchards, or themselves. They eat breakfast in the fields every day, and cook their own meals back at the kibbutz. So far, it's been a great experience and a nice change of pace to be outside all day.
