A Day in the Desert

Our field trip this past week was basically through the deserts of Israel. It was way hot, and we got way sweaty, but it was so worth it. We went Beer-Sheba (a place where Abraham lived) and Avdat. We also visited a weaving place in Negev. The women in Negev are not allowed to work outside the home, so this weaving agency is a network that helps the ladies set up weaving in their own homes, and then sells their products for them. It is way cool because then these mothers who are earning money can help to support their daughters in their endeavors (such as going to university), whereas traditionally in the home the money went towards the boys. Here are some pictures from our trip.
