Closing day of Congress! July 18

Today we said goodbye to friends from across the world as Congress came to a close. We started the morning with a fun and engaging activity on Tikkun Olam, where we discussed our roles in making a change in the world. Next, we listened to Diller alumni, as they explained the positive impact Diller has made on their lives. Their stories of carrying on the leadership skills they gained in Diller truly inspired many of us in the cohort. Next, we attended the Global partnership fair, where each partnership set up a station that represented their cohorts. Filled with food, fun, and learning, all of us had the opportunity to get to know a little bit about the Jewish communities across the world. Finally, we ended our night with a closing ceremony, where Baltimore and Ashkelon won the “most friendly and social partnership award”. After the closing ceremony, we sadly said goodbye to our friends and headed back to our kibbutzim for the night.
