Sunday, July 29 - Covenant & Memory

We first started off our day with an early morning breakfast at 8:30 with delicious assortments of salad and berakas. From there, we then went to our color groups to learn about the covenant (brit). The covenant, one of the five legs, describes the contract between the nation of Israel and God. We then had a much needed break where we watched the Olympics.

Then, we went back to our color groups and discussed another leg of the table – memory. We talked about our past as a joint nation and how it affects us. After, we had lunch.

After lunch, we were extremely fortunate to meet fifteen of some of the most renowned Jewish leaders in the world. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Biton. He was a mayor of a city in Israel and was extremely cool to speak with as he gave his advice and opinion on how to become a better leader.

After meeting with the speakers, we then met with some Diller alumni who are leaders in their careers today. My Diller alumni, Natanel, talked about the legal immigrants coming in from Sudan, to Israel. After this, we had dinner and learned about other ways after Diller to still make an impact in our Jewish community. Straight from there, we went to our ma’agal lilah. We had a nice refreshment in twizzlers.
