A belated post from a few days ago

By Sophia

Today, the cohort transitioned from Community Week to Congress. We spent the morning kissing our host families goodbye and thanking them endlessly. The first half of the day was spent on the bus, traveling from the Upper Galilee to Givat Haviva. We arrived at a nearby kibbutz for the opening ceremonies where the JCs introduced the theme of Congress: Sarah and Abraham. The SF cohort was split into tribes mixed with fellows from cohorts all over the world. In our tribes, we broke the ice. After a scrumptious dinner of cucumbers, the tribe groups reconvened for a unit about family, what constitutes a family, and what the global Jewish family means to us. Our maagal laila consisted of funky yoga poses led by Lara. We wrapped up the day by mingling with the global Diller community at the White Tent.
