Tonight when we met up with the Israelis, Orly and Felicia had a program set up to tell us about all America does for Israel and all Israel does for America. We each got half a sentence and had to search for our other half. Once paired up, we separated into 3 groups based on what our sentence said. We had a lot of laughs listening to how fast the Americans read and how quiet everyone was. When we finished we had a new perspective on what each country does for the other. When we finished, we sat down for dinner and following that, we planned for the Israel Summer Seminar. We discussed the resources we have at hand. One that came up was our brains, which Hila (jokingly) decided wasn’t a resource, it was an obstacle. Once we had our resources listed we started to plan an overview for our community week in Israel. Despite having issues of getting everyone to stay quiet, we got a lot done and had a lot of fun.
