Shabbat Shalom! July 6

Diller families, friends, and any other acquaintances- I, Bradley Dean Harrison, am going to give you an informed and interesting, yet short and simple, recap of the events that transpired this past Friday July 6th.
We began our morning as we had each of the following two days.
We awoke to the beautiful Mediterranean sun in our eyes as the world was calling to us, and the Maccabim youth house was kicking us out. Having packed the night before, because that is what responsible young adults do, we were ready to get our day underway.
First, we went to meet with a representative from the Women of the Wall. There, the representative told us about the struggles of women at the Kotel and how they fight for the right to read Torah at the Kotel etc.
After this, we headed over to Ramat Rachel where we met with the fellows from all of the international diller communities. There we had opening ceremonies, socialized, and met tons of new people. This culminated in kaballat Shabbat where people could choose from multiple options but each one seemed to be a good time. Friday was a great day and a lot was done here in the holy land.
