Finally the day came, where the Dillers were reunited with their amazing coordinator Leah!! The workshop
started off with an Avodat Ha’lev presentation by Greg Artman, about his
Maccabi games experience. Then we moved onto presenting the Israeli cohort, each
teen was assigned an Israeli to introduce to the group, and this activity successfully
allowed us to get a small grasp of the Israeli group as a whole. During the
duration of the weeks prior to the Workshop the Israelis were given our
facebooks, this resulted in an incredible amount of facebook chats and posts.
The group then discussed the initial engagements with the Israelis, and we were
given advice on how to handle them (some helpful Hebrew slang was taught). We
then learned some very useful time management skills; these skills will definitely
help us out during NAS. After this Leah told us mysteriously to just play for 7
minutes, while she just watched from aside. After these 7 minutes of playing we
learned that this lead into something called The Journey of Milk and Cookies.
Which is all about how companies/groups create their mission statements and how
they carry them out. We were taught this as directly after we were separated
into our new NAS committees, and were required to apply the journey of milk and
cookies to our groups. Overall definitely a very fun day, and can’t wait until
next time!
