Today we had a spectacular day.

| Walking from the hostel to Tel Chai campus in the morning |
First thing in the morning all the fellows met up at a lookout point to witness an inspired historical performance put on by the junior staff, in which Jewish History was presented from the perspective of significant, historical Jewish figures.
Afterwards, the fellows separated into their respective tribes and set off on different bus tours. The bus tours enabled fellows to gain more perspective on the Upper Galilee. On my bus tour we were lead by a channel 2 news correspondent who gave us his perception of how the media influences public opinion, relating it mainly to the Israeli public perspective of the UG.

After bus tours fellows ate lunch and were treated to magnificent heart-shaped ice cream creations that rejuvenated the fellows after a long hot morning.
The next activity focused on Israel. In tribes fellows were asked to both explain and debate their opinions. Through debate, fellows were able to gain a more nuanced perspective on how their peers view the very place in which they are this very moment.
Then, inspirational speakers came to talk with fellows on a plethora of topics ranging from healthcare to JCCs. Though very different, speakers focused on how their work coincided with and had an effect on Israel. Then fellows took a group picture, ate dinner, and left the campus to return to youth hostels.
