Shabbat as One - August 3, 2013

Shabbat at Congress was both relaxing and thought provoking. in the morning, we had the option to wake up with prayer, yoga, or other alternative minyans, but we also had the option for some much needed sleep. After this, we had breakfast and more time to rest. 

After this, the current Dillers were able to attend seminars led by Diller alumni. The alums, all different ages,  hailed from all over North America. The previous Dillers each lead a seminar about different topics such as leadership, creativity, Jewish idenity, the future, and more. I went to one that was about our identities and how they would change over the future. Our group of about 15 people went around the circle and admitted our personal fears for the future and what we aspire to do with the rest of our lives.  

We ended Shabbat with Havdalah in our partnerships, which was extra emotional because it was our last Havdalah as Metro-Letzion. After Havdalah, the night eded with White Tent, a social gathering amongst all the Dillers with music and food.
