Peoplehood. What is that? Walking into Diller on Sunday, we had no idea, but Max and Aliza had it covered. (Can we get a woosh clap?!) They asked us to decide what we thought was the most defining moment in Jewish history. At first, we were all a little lost. We had no idea what "peoplehood" was and we certainly didn't know what the most important moment in Jewish history was, but once we started talking with each other, we realized we could do this.One discovery lead to the next when Leah showed us "The Journey of Bread and Water", or as Rachel G. would like to think, "The Journey of Water and Bread." These were the steps to success. Between our
Tikun Olam Projects and the workshop, we couldn't forget about our Israelis! We're so excited for them to arrive! All of us Dillers spread out into groups, such as: The Welcoming Committee, who will, of course, be planning our initial meeting with the Israelis when they first arrive. The Israel Day Committee, who will be planning activities to be done at a local Temple to celebrate Israel. The Shabbaton Committee, who will be planning on organizing activities for us to do woth the Israelis during our weekend back to the cabins in Fairview Lake. And, The Farewell Committee, who will be organizing our final hoorah with the Israelis in the North American Seminar. After splitting up, we begged Leah to tell us who would he staying with us, but her lips were sealed.

When we met up with our parents, Leah explained what the week with the Israelis is going to be like, and although our parents seemed a bit concerned with our hectic schedules - between sports, clubs, homework, juggling (shout out to Rachel Scheckman,) music, and whatever else our talented Dillers do - it's going to be, to say the least, a bit hectic. But, as Aliza said on Sunday, it's been done before, and it can be done again. And as Diller 5, the most swagged out Dillers ever to hit Metrowest, we know that we can pull this off. We can't wait until the Israelis get here, and although our lives by then will be a bit crazy, as the saying goes, nothing worth fighting for in life, is easy.
