Putting Our Leadership to the Test

July 19, 2017
By: Howard Silverman

 Howdy y'all and welcome to my blog!

Today is the 19th of July. We arose bright and early on the Gadot Kibbutz and had a swell breakfast full of the classic Israeli salads and moist sunny-side-up eggs. Soon after we split into small groups full of people from different places like Israel, South Africa, and of course the good ole USA (and New Jersey also). In these groups we tested our leadership abilities in numerous, strenuous activities.

Next we broke for a full and hardy lunch. 

Most ate quickly and then a great and long war broke out almost immediately: The Great Water War of 2017.  Everyone was wet but it was a good kind of wet.  For example, charlie was no longer dry after the lunch.  We then dried off in the sun fairly quickly.   

After our nice and wholesome break, the original, multinational groups reconvened to reflect on the activities and ourselves. We spoke about how our own leadership qualities changed over the course of Diller and our lives.

After this enjoyable talk with the new group we split up to get ready for the closing ceremony of Congress. 

The dance: 

Many wore casual clothing, however the true men of diller wore a more fancy, higher class type of outerwear: Hawaiians. All of the diller teens convened to thank everyone involved in the coordination of Congress. Once the thank yous were completed, the largest, most international, Jewish dance party began. We jumped, we shimmied, we twirled, we fist pumped, we dabbed, we mosh pitted, and most of all, bonded through the music. 

This is the completion of the day.
