Negev


On Thursday the 19th we went to Negev, which is a desert area in the south of Israel. This area is where Canaan was, which is where Abraham lived. We went to Beersheba, which in Hebrew means “well of seven” and it is where Abraham dug his well. We also went to Tel Arad, which is the site of an ancient Canaanite city of Arad. It is one of the cities in the Bible where the inhabitants prevented Israelites from entering the Promised Land. We also went to a Bedouin women's weaving demonstration. It was so amazing! We sat on hand made wool pillows in their wool tent and had tea and little middle-eastern delicacies (delicious).
