Shalom,
On Friday, the Yedid kvutzah had a restful Shabbat at Mishmar Ha'Emek, a kibbutz in the North of Israel. The kvutzah planned their own Kabbalat Shabbat and spent the day together.
On Saturday, the kvutzah started their kibbutz seminar, where they toured Kibbutz Mishmar Ha'Emek and talked about the formation and relevancy of kibbutzim in modern times. On Sunday, this seminar continuted with a meeting with Yaniv Sagi, the head of Kibbutz Ein-Hashofet, and the next central shaliach for Hashomer Hatzair NY. Yaniv told the kvutzah about the kibbutz crisis, and how many kibbutzim are becoming privatized. Later that day, the kvutzah travelled to Kibbutz Pelech, a kibbutz of many communot (individual kvutzot) living in one community.
On Monday, the kvutzah started their coexistence seminar at Givat Havivah. Lydia, a Givat Havivah educator, gave the kvutzah a lecture of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, its history and its manifestations. The kvutzah toured Barta, a town split by the Green Line. There, the kvutzah met with students from the local junior high school, talked and socialized with them, and learned about the reality of their life. The kvutzah is learning a lot about the different realms of Israeli life, and is enjoying experiencing different cultures.
More Updates Soon!
