Over the past weekend we had our first workshop. We started out by doing ice breakers to get people to loosen up and to help everyone learn each other’s names. Even though we haven’t known each other for long, just doing a couple ice breakers really made us feel closer to each other.

After that, Chris talked to us about the rules and regulations for the upcoming workshops and Shabbatons. Chris also told us what we would be doing on our first Shabbaton. It was really great to hear because it made everyone even more excited for it!
Then Rabbi Schiff came and talked to us about Jewish morals. We had a really great discussion about what is the most important Jewish moral to be passes down from generation to generation. It gave us a chance to talk with each other and bond.
Lastly, we ended with learning about the Diller Partnership in Israel with Karmiel-Misgav. It gave us a better understanding of our partnership with Israel and it was a great thing to end on.
Looking forward to the upcoming Shabbaton!
