Diller had a fun filled day planned for us! The busses took us to Tel Hai campus, a small college in Northern Israel. We made our way to our learning classrooms and did an activity in which statements were made about Israel and its relationship to the diaspora; we were told to change our altitude in order to show our level of agreement. After our Israel discussion, we went to our assigned “inspirational speakers”, these ranged from the Mayor of Sohan, the Director of Hillel Israel, the Director of Diller Teen Initiative and many more. From there, we were given lunch made up of assorted sandwich options and sides. After this, we convened in our leadership challenge teams and begun the day’s main activity: the leadership challenge. We were shown a video on with the first task. Once completed we headed to our bus to take us to our next challenge. We went to a field to complete different tasks such as the army crawl, blowing up a bubble over a person, climbing over an “electric wire” (it was really just flags). We got super dirty but had a lot of fun. After the obstacle courses we went to the Rugby Field, here we had to create a “haka maka” chant. After this, we went to a local mall where we had to complete different tasks while not annoying the people in the mall. Our next task was at the Canada Center. Here we had to bowl as a team and gain 70 points after this we moved up to the trampoline park. At the trampoline park we took a picture while making a Star of David while jumping. This was a lot harder than you’d expect. The Canada House was our last stop off campus. Once we returned to Tel Hai, we ate dinner and completed our final task. This was to build a bench for an organization in Upper Galilee. Our group picked a specific organization to donate the bench to. It was an extremely busy and exciting day.
