1991-1992 Rothberg Yearbook

Sea to Shining Sea
The OYP grand finale, as far as tiyullim go, was the
Sea to Sea, or if you prefer, the Hof to Hof (beach to
beach) hike. Six full buses embarked on a
“treacherous” journey from the Mediterranean to the
Kinneret in the week preceeding Pesach.
The days were filled with inspiring views of rivers
overflowing with water, awesome peaks and lush
countrysides blooming with wild flowers. The nights
saw glowing bonfires, airplane-like dinners,
songs of camp and oohh, doesn’t this sound
dangerous, shared guard responsibilities. Who can
forget the night we awoke to the pitter patter of
rain drops as we made a mass exodus to the
buses? Or the anxiety we all felt when we learned
of the 3 missing hikers?
Of course the Hiking Club soared to new and
unimaginable heights that we lay hikers could only dream of. But we
forgave them. All and all, harmony, fun, and sore blisters, prevailed. When we did reach
the Kinneret, there was a genuine feeling of satisfaction, of triumph, of....cleanliness as we finally got a
chance to shower that night. Our journey of many, many kilometers was well worth the effort. Some
serious bonding went on in the woods and trails. Many kudos to the madrichim guides, guards, medics
and others for making the 1992 yam le autobus le autobus le yam a great success.
