A month had come around and it was now time for another fantastic Diller experience. This workshop was no exception. It began early this Sunday when the Dillers vounteered at Good Deeds Day at the Squirrel Hill JCC. We packed snacks for kids for when they come home from school. After, we went as a group to Milky Way for lunch and walked back to the JCC for the workshop.

The workshop began with opening presentations from Jamie, who told us about her new job, and Jake Riberi, who taught us how to play quems. After the presentations, the Dillers went around and told the group a little abot their pen pals. It was great to hear about all of the Israelis and it made everyone even more excited for NAS.
After the pen pal presentations, Chris, Henry, and Jared led discussions about Tikkun Olam and its importance in both Diller and the Jewish religion. Chris led a discussion on Tikkun Olam in the Torah, Jared taught us the 8 rungs of tzedakah, and Henry showed us the website freerice.com and led a discussion on its impact. We then went into a half hour work session in our NAS comittees before it was time to leave. All in all, this was an awesome workshop and we all cannot wait for NAS!
