Our Shabbat morning at kennes opened up to a great start! We were given several options of different kinds of Shabbat services ranging from camp style to traditional orthodox. Each service was fun and uplifting! Afterwards we had a bit of free time before lunch where we able to schmooze with our new friends from all across the globe and create lasting friendships. We all then sat down for delicious Shabbat lunch.
Where all the cohorts sang Shabbat cheers together! Afterwards we then went to our respective colour groups where we were given challenging topics and questions on the parsha which we debated thoroughly. Later in the day we all prepared for our long walk to to the kotel and had a nice picnic in a park along the way! Once we got to the kotel we were given some free time to look around and truly connect and look at one of the most significant places in Judaism that was standing before us.
Afterwards we sang havdalah together as a cohort and then traveled to Ben yehuda for some free time to shop around. My favourite part of the day was being able meet so many different and amazing people all united under one roof, each individual different in his own way but yet alike in another. Being able to meet and speak with teens your age from around the world but still being able to relate to and connect with each other is absolutely amazing.
