We were able to spend a full day in a Kibbutz while on my trip to Israel. They took us to a typical Kibbutz where we were able to join the members for typical Saturday night meal. If you didn’t know Saturdays for Jews is a day of rest called Shabbas (pronounced Shabbat). During Shabbas, everyone eats at the cafeteria and people not part of the Kibbutz are supposed to eat outside. The Israel Ministry of Tourism was gracious enough to get us VIP seats inside the cafetaria next to the meat, or was it the juice? Either way, it was VIP seating and we had a great time watching the sunset.
