We started our fourth workshop by introducing our Israeli partners. Raps, limericks, posters, songs, photos, and games reveals new fascinating information about our corresponding fellows in the Upper Galilee. Because Cohort 17 will soon embark on their journey to Israel, we made card to wish them pleasant travels and a fruitful trip to Israel. Being that this is Diller, we held a feedback session to discuss the activities that have been beneficial or those which need improvement. We reflected on how the four pillars (Jewish identity, leadership, Israel, and Tikkun Olam) have been incorporated throughout the past workshops and the Shabbaton.
Finally, Rabbi Glazer and Rabbi Zarchi arrived to tell us about their backgrounds and perspectives as rabbis in the Bay Area. They each discussed their individual views of human relationships to God, Kabbalah, the importance of Jewish mysticism, and the state of the Jewish community after HaShoah. We closed the workshop with a Whoosh and some time to reflect on our journals. We left with the assignment to Skype call our Israeli partners before Workshop 5!
I look forward to the next workshop!
