Hello!
Today, the Yedid kvutzah finished Seminar Tzofi, the group survival challenge seminar. During the seminar, many overcame challenges, such as fear of heights, and living in the woods. Their seminar finished with them rafting down the river in canoes that they built out of tubes and twine. Everyone was relieved to find the comfort of a normal shower, but still all feel proud of their accomplishments in the last few days.
Tomorrow, the kvutzah will have a day to relax, including a trip to a local water park and the ability to sleep in and rest. Next week, the yedid kvutzah will participate in a veida, a convention, with the world movement about pedagogy.
More Updates Soon!
Sincerely,
Daphna Harel

On We Go!
Hello,
Yedid has landed safely! The flights were mostly uneventful and allowed the kids to catch up on some much needed sleep. The Canadian kvutzah and the American kvutzah have united and started their journey to the north of Israel. Everyone is very excited for the upcoming weeks. For the next few days, the Yedid kvutzah will be out of phone contact, and will be participating in Seminar Tzofi, a nature and wilderness seminar with the European movement.
We will update again after this seminar.
Sincerely,
Daphna Harel
