Blog day: Emmet's Moshe day
Sunday July 19, 2015 was a day filled with laughter, chatter, and a plethora of amazing teenagers.
After waking up around 8 am at a youth hostel in Jerusalem, we had breakfast at 8:30 and headed on our way to Sde Boker. On the two hour bus ride we saw the many beauties of the Israeli country side. The bus ride was filled with all of cohort 18's voices as we practiced our San Francisco cheer.
We then arrived at Sde Boker and settled into our rooms, made sure everyone had their stuff, and the rooms had AC. After a very delayed and hectic lunch (admittedly it was at least tasty, with schnitzel for both meat eaters and vegetarians) we got a tour of Sde Boker that led us to the auditorium where openin ceremony took place. All of the different cohorts did their cheers ( San Francisco was the best of course- video proof on our Facebook page) and we started to get to know the rest of the dillers. We split into the color groups that had been assigned earlier that day. The color groups contained no less that one person from each of the cohorts around the world. Each color group was led by two junior counsellors who planned unique ice breakers for the fellows to participate in.
Finally after a very crazy day, San Francisco cohort had a beautiful and food-metaphor inspired maagal Laila under the stars, overlooking the desert. After the maagal the cohorts had a huge dance party under the white tent and went to bed happy.
