Tuesday, July 31 - Congress to Community Week

Montreal, San Francisco, Baltimore, Upper Galilee, Ashkelon; Just A few places where I now have friends.
Congress was an amazing experience where we learned to form our own opinions, gained new ideas, and got to argue our position with other teens from around North America and Israel. We finished off congress with a sleepy morning after a big party last night. After giving and getting feedback in our color groups, we said our goodbyes, and made our way to Rishon Letzion! We were welcomed by the youth department (federation) in Rishon and a much needed lunch after a few days of the food at Givat Chaviva.

Now I'm at Mai's house starting off community week. I was welcomed into her house right away with a tour, a snack, music and dancing. After a trip to the mall, we're really ready for a good night sleep
