Shabbat Shalom!
Greetings from congress day number five. The morning started out with optional Saturday morning services. Those who chose not to attend were all excited to sleep in until nine! The morning officially started out with a short Ma’agal between Pittsburgh and Karmiel/Misgav lead by our wonderful JCs. We played a couple of games to get us in the Shabbat state of mind. After our Ma’agal, we went to our color groups. Today was the day that we talked about the fourth leg of Judaism which is language. We discussed how language brings us together. The question that brought the most debate was if all Jews should know Hebrew. On one hand, the language would unite us as the Jewish people. On the other hand, it isn’t very practical to assume that all Jews would learn and love the language. By lunch time, everyone worked up an appetite debating. After lunch, there was pool time for all the fellows. Some of us cut pool time a little early and wrote our song for closing exercises. We decided to write it to the tune of You’re an All Star by Smashmouth.
After practicing the song countless times, we all prepared for Havdallah. Havdallah was divided by circles of sister cities on the large quad. First, we preformed all of the Havdallah rituals. Then we swayed in a circle singing familiar camp tunes. It was a great way to start the new week. We then walked up to a Diller-wide barbeque! Immediately after the barbeque, we watched every cohort’s closing ceremony song or skit. I may be a little biased, but ours was the best. We then had a short Ma’gal to reflect on the day. It didn’t last long, because we were all so excited to head to the last Teen Zulla! My personal favorite part of the Zulla was dancing like crazy with the cohort to Wiz Khalifa’s Black and Yellow. Everyone was so tired from the Zulla that we all fell asleep very easily when it was time to go back to our rooms. Seeya tomorrow!

P.S. Here are the song lyrics
The bus driver once dropped us, at the Diller congress
Sayin’ we’re the coolest kids in this pla-ace
We were lookin’ kind of dumb comin’ from the desert sun
With a farmers tan on our shoulders
Well, the schnitzel keeps comin’ and it won’t stop comin’
“Back to teen zulla” the sama keeps bummin’
Didn’t they say the food would suck?
We made a lot of friends -- We had a lot of fun.
Colors by day ma’agal by night
So what’s wrong with teen zulla all night
People hood here we go (OH)
You’ll never learn if you don’t go.
Hey now, we are Pittsburgh, Misgav, Karmie-el
Hey now, we are leaders, thanks to ben and Ya-e-el
The bus driver once dropped us, at the Diller congress
Sayin we’re the coolest kids in this pla-ace
We we’re lookin’ kind of dumb comin’ from the desert sun
With a farmers tan on our shoulders
Well, the scnitzle keeps comin’ and it won’t stop comin’
“back to teen zulla” the somma keeps bummin’
Didn’t they say the food would suck
We made a lot of friends, we had a lot of fun.
Colors by day ma’agal by night
So whats wrong with teen zulla all night
People hood here we go (OH)
You’ll never learn if you don’t go.
Hey now, we are Pittsburgh, Misgav, Karmie-el
Hey now, we are leaders, thanks to ben and Ya-e-el
Amir and Re’ut too.. congress was a blast, thanks to you-ou
It’s a hot place, and they say it gets hotter
The AC is broken and we all need water
Well the staff all begs to differ,
While the whole world is hooked Diller.
Everyone loves Shosh Hilla and Steve
Cohort two, we never wanna leave.
Our group is on fire, howbout yours?
That’s the way we like it and we never get bored
(CHORUS)
