Super Sunday and Final Plans for the Last Shabbaton!

Our meeting began with lots of chit chatting and catching back up. The school year has hit many of us really hard, and we were all sharing in the common misery that is high school. 

We met at Sarah Nelson’s house, and so we headed to the basement to begin our official meeting. We started with a Ma’agal, (a circle,) and used it as a time to catch up as a group, and sort of help each other out with our problems. Because we know no other way, we shared our greatest fears and what was really plaguing our hearts, and it was the perfect segway back into the Diller atmosphere. 

Later, we filmed the song-parody for Super Sunday! We chose to film outside - for some reason - and it was wet and rainy and cold, but we made a fun video which should be super exciting to watch! 

We also split up into our groups for the self management Shabbaton, and had a last minute check-in with Leah, making sure everything was ready. 

I can’t wait another two weeks for this Shabbaton… it’s going to be most definitely an amazing experience and it’s going to end in a way that’s very special to me, at the Friendship Circle Walkathon. 

Also, a gigantic thank-you to Sarah’s family for letting us invade their home for 5 hours while we had our meeting!

Together Again: Moving Forward

This was the first time we have been together as a group since we all returned from Israel. Naturally, we had a lot to catch up on about how our summer was post-Israel and how the school year was going. We had a surprise video call from Meital and Rachel who we miss SO much! It was so great to hear that they’ve adjusted to the college life well and that they still remember who we are. We quickly segwayed into a Ma’agal to just check-in and see how everyone was doing. We then split into committees to start planning for our Shabbaton. We spent a lot of time doing that, and then braked for lunch. It seemed as though we had a really fun Shabbaton underway! After lunch, we wrapped up with our committees and talked about the community service projects that we will be partaking in past our Diller experience. The meeting ended with the blink of an eye and then Diller 7 had their orientation with our very own Juliet Felsen as one of their JCs….Who said Diller 7 was allowed to happen?

Coral sent us a message from the army!
