It's hard to believe that today was our fourth day of camp. Working at the kaitana has been an unbelievable experience. Besides getting to know my campers, I have particuarly enjoyed exanding my limited Hebrew vocabulary. Today's word of the day is mazgan (air conditioning), which I appreciate more every day we spend in Israel.
After the camp, the Dillers had a discussion to wrap up what we learned at the congress this past week. Of the five legs of Avraham Infeld's table that we studied at the congress (covenant, family, Israel, language, and memory), we discussed our strongest leg, and another leg we would add if we could. Family received the most votes for strongest leg, and our sixth legs ranged from culture, to pride, to tzedakah, to tikun olam.
After dinner we set out to the IDF'S Home Front Command base. We heard from the commander about the rescue squad. Israel's aid to other countries is incredible and admirable. Since its inception, the rescue squad has traveled to Turkey, Kenya, and Haiti, among other countries. Israel's aid is invaluable, and the work of the rescue squad is exceptional. All the Dillers are proud to stand behind such a generous and strong nation.
Time to get some rest and gear up for our last day of camp!
