Moshav livin' - it's what we do most of the time: hanging out at the place we call home - Moshav Yad HaShmonah.  The moshav is a small community of 100 members (including the children) who have been together for about 25 years.  Their work: running a holiday village and building wood furniture in the carpentry (a novelty in this country).  Their raison d'etre: to be a believing Jewish witness in the midst of an Israel that has largely rejected Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah.

 

Bus travel is a big part of the IBEX experience.  This is us on one of the minibuses coming home after church. Monica, Amy and Allison enjoy the dress-up Shabbat dinner together.  Tonight's menu: chicken and rice :-)

 

More of us eating the Friday night dinner outside.  The one that looks like a ghost is Seth. The fiery red sunset over the Mediterranean turned a few heads during dinner.  You pay lots of money for this kind of view at fancy restaurants.

 

But fancy restaurants don't make you do the dishes.  Here moshav volunteer Marie gives lessons. Brett, Kasey, Leo and Wendy had dish duty on the first Shabbat dinner. 

 

Randy gives advice to students wondering how they can join the Israeli army. As expected, the girls at IBEX are all attracted to boys.  This boy, Luke, gets lots of attention.  Luke is IBEX teacher Todd's son.

 

We worship on Saturday mornings at Jerusalem Assembly with about 100 other believers. The students picked these as the dorm leaders for the semester.  Top row: Becky (IBEX volunteer), Leo and Preston.  On bottom: Andrea and Allison
