On the day of J-Serve we gathered at the Federation for a meeting, as well as to help out in our community. Through J-Serve, there were many different directions we could potentially go in: helping displaced Sudanese persons, playing sports with special needs adults, doing karaoke and games with people in retirement homes, learning about the movement Tzevah Kachol, and many more activities than those.
I was in the Darfur activity. I spent an hour teaching a man how to use a computer and the Internet to perform basic functions that I usually pass off as second nature. It was really special to see the man I was working with actually learning from what I taught him. Personally, I thought this was so amazing because I know what I did will truly make his life better.

We dove into the details to make sure no stone was left unturned. Each group took the notes they made with their Israeli counterparts during the NAS, and brought them to life through discussion. As the groups discussed, new ideas flourished and were worked into the original plans each group had.
Overall, J-Serve was a great success, both the community and us as the participants truly benefited.
J-Serve was awesome, but with the Israeli Summer Seminar quickly approaching, Diller 6 needed to get down to business. We broke into our respective groups along with one staff member and put our minds to the test.
Diller 6 is working extremely hard to make sure the camp and seminar will change the lives of the participants forever, as well as continuing to become more cohesive as a cohort.
