Shvil Yisrael

I'm restarting this blog to tell about our adventures on Shvil Yisrael

[8:46 AM, 3/16/2022] David Greenstone: Shira and I have been talking on and off about doing the Israel Trail (walking the entire country from north to south). There are numerous problems but the main two problems are the amount of time and the fact that I hate sleeping outside. So we figured out that we can do it in shifts. You basically walk small chunks one day a month for 5-6 years and then you finish the whole thing. Others do it like that and it works. We thought it would be more fun if we had friends doing it with us. that's where you come in. When should we start? 

[8:49 AM, 3/16/2022] Ahuva Seiferas: That's awesome!! Only problem for me is that I'm never off from work other than Fridays. Probably not so feasible, right? 

[8:50 AM, 3/16/2022] Shira: We would want to do it on Fridays. Can you make that work? We would have to take vacation if it was any other day. 

[8:50 AM, 3/16/2022] Ahuva Seiferas: ooohhh....very tempting. not that i'm ever ready for shabbat in advance...when would you guys want to start? 

[8:51 AM, 3/16/2022] Shira: the first part is in an open area, so best to start before it gets too hot 

[8:51 AM, 3/16/2022] Shira: it's all the way up north. so would require a lot of organization on the home front 

[9:10 AM, 3/16/2022] Gershon Seiferas: Interesting! 

[9:10 AM, 3/16/2022] Gershon Seiferas: Year round? 

[9:14 AM, 3/16/2022] David Greenstone: Yeah 

[9:15 AM, 3/16/2022] Gershon Seiferas: Every week? Or x times per month? 

[9:15 AM, 3/16/2022] David Greenstone: probably once a month 

[9:15 AM, 3/16/2022] Gershon Seiferas: Not bad 

[9:56 AM, 3/16/2022] Gershon Seiferas: So can we get back to you after Shabbat? 

[9:58 AM, 3/16/2022] David Greenstone: Sure 

…… 4 days later ….. 

[10:42 PM, 3/20/2022] Ahuva Seiferas: We’re in!! Start after Pesach? 

[4:12 AM, 3/21/2022] David Greenstone: Yay!! 

 That was the beginning of our planning to do shvil yisrael. We are starting this Friday. I will keep a log of what we do each time.
