Today was the first full day of the North American Kennes. It was also Hannah Busis’ birthday today and we had several celebrations that spanned the entire day. Yesterday, we were split into several color groups consisting of 1 or 2 people from each city. In those color groups we had three meetings in which we had activities and discussions about breaking down our personalities and Jewish identities. We also had one guest speaker named Avraham Infeld. He spoke about the Jews, the Jewish homeland, and Jewish culture/peoplehood describing being Jewish as needing the support of a five-legged table; we need family, memories, Hebrew, the covenant, and Israel to survive. Later in the day, we were highly entertained by the music/storytelling of the very talented Robbie Gringrass and his guitar-playing partner, Adam. The night ended with a ma’agal, as always. We had a compliment activity led by Jacob Kander and Noah Gup. After the ma’agal, there was an optional teen get together with music and dancing called the teen Zoola. Overall, it was another great day in Israel.
Love to say and blog but we gotta go party at the Zoola,
Katie and Barry
