After weeks or hard work and planning, Diller 8 embarked on
our first self-management experience. The weekend began with the content
committee leading us in an activity coloring puzzle pieces and writing about
ourselves on flowers before Shabbat began. Then, the Shabbat spirit committee
took over and led a wonderful service before leading us in some fun Shabbat
games. Later that night, we had a discussion about leadership and it was really
interesting to see how each of my fellow Dillers saw the same leader. The next
day was filled with meaningful activities about community, which was the
narrative for the weekend. In the afternoon, we had a self-defense class led by
Ben! After Ma'agal, we had a neon party in the conference room-fog machines
were involved.
We were all completely exhausted by the end of the night,
but our final day had more in store. The next morning, we added more to our
puzzle pieces as a way to reflect on our weekend. Then, we had to put them
together to reveal the hidden image:
We then had a yoga class where we made Hebrew letters using
our bodies before giving feedback about the weekend. Then came NAS planning! We
got into our new committees and got even more excited for the Israelis to come.
Overall, it was a great weekend and it made me so much more excited to move
along in our journey.
