Greetings Diller parents and friends!
I am writing to you as our last day at the Diller International Congress sadly comes to an end. It has been an amazing and action packed week, and each and every one of us has had an experience that shall never be replicated.
Today started off with an out of this world breakfast that lead to an early (well, we all thought it was)morning activity in our color groups, and after a short break we had yet another morning activity in our color groups. Lunch was surprisingly edible and after lunch we had some much needed break/pool time. We then gathered back in our color groups to plan out our skits for the closing ceremony. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you put 24 teen leaders in a room together. At the closing ceremony we all got to see each others’ skits and we even got to watchour junior staff give us their renditions of “things chanichim say”, or stuffthat we the fellows say. The ceremony was concluded by Diller co-director, Liat singing a song dedicated to all of the wonderful Coordinators from the different partnerships.
With the heat and humidity, the white tent (teen hang out spot) has turned into a watergun fight that involves music and dancing. I will really miss congress and all the new people I met it was a learning experience that taught me about both friendship and Judiasm. The five pillars of judiasm were instilled into us and now as Jewish leaders we can spread our ideas and help the jewish world continually grow in a manner that will help the Jewish world prosper.
