The Journey to Diller 8
My Diller experience so far - which I feel speaks for all of
Cohort 8 - has been one of excitement and anticipation.
Having only two workshops and one social event, I can tell
that with each group gathering our Cohort is becoming closer together and more
tightly knit. Our event at the bowling
alley, organized by the social committee, solely proved that we are willing to
come together and act as one mishpacha to
become leaders for social change in our communities. The Diller workshops have allowed us to
further progress in the right direction by helping us build trust between each
other, establish friendships, and to learn about necessary leadership
qualities.
But while this is very exciting, I have yet to see the true
potential of Diller. Although I have
learned a handful in our three group gatherings, there have still been only
three gatherings! Thus, our Cohort is still
breaking out of its cocoon, its full force and beauty waiting to be recognized
and admired. I am sure that with time,
our true potential will shine. But until
then, I have to sit here in my big brown chair, writing blog post number two,
patiently anticipating the Shabbaton.
