Sukkot is the last holiday Israeli university students celebrate before they begin their school year and for us MSIH students it is the last break before finals. It is therefore an Israeli tradition for families to travel on Sukkot and this year it was announced that more than 200,000 Israelis traveled.
In order to take advantage of their close proximity to Europe or to identify with their new community, the class of 2018 traveled as well. Most students traveled abroad to Spain, France, Netherlands, back home to the United States and Canada, Jordan, Berlin, and even Lithuania and a small few traveled here in Israel to Eilat.
It is understandable that the cheap airline tickets to Europe are hard to resist, but there are many places to see in Israel as well. So, I have compiled a list of “must sees” in Israel apart from the common Kotel and Matzada.
