The day began at gadot, the kibutz of one of our Israeli partners, Itaay. As a day that was intended to have a focus on the culture of Israelis, the activities we took part in captured this mission perfectly. We discussed different aspects of Israeli culture at stations: the 6 day war, dancing, kibutz life, and Israeli acting. After these stimulating activities, we journeyed to the Dobrovim farm. We watched an educational film and then explored exhibits that were meant to simulate life for the pioneers. For lunch, we went to park hazahav (golden park), named after the Golden Gate Bridge, the park sated some of the home sickness felt by our group. Our lunch consisted of falafel, with some nice cake to celebrate the birthday of the Israeli coordinator, Idan. We had planned an exploration of the "jungle", a more wild part of the park. Unfortunately, a fallen tree blocked our path. Instead, we sat on some logs and discussed the importance of parks and preserving nature. To conclude our day, we returned to the Vancouver house and had a panel of youth leaders that included several of our own dillers!
