Today our friends will be leaving Jerusalem for the day and descending towards the Dead Sea, 1300 feet below sea level.
Their first stop will be at Ein Gedi, where David wrote some of his beautiful psalms.
After a short hike, they will reach the waterfall where David cut off a part of Saul's garment.
Their next stop will be Massada, Herod's magnificent fortress
and site of the Zealots' stand against Rome.
They will reach Massada by cable car . 
While at Massada they will observe preserved storehouses, cisterns and palaces. 
At noon they will stop at Ein Bokek for lunch and a float on the salty sea.
Before returning to Jerusalem, they will visit Qumran, 
site of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
