3/28

Sorry for the lack of Poland posts, I'm working on it. It's been very busy since we got back.

3/28

Today I led services with my friends Tessa and Kayla. We decided that we wanted to reflect on our week in Poland but we also didn't want to make a sad Holocaust service. We lit candles all around the room and told personal stories before the mourners Kaddish. After we finished the prayers, we went outside to do an activity to represent all of our thoughts and feelings reflecting on the week and also how it brought all of us closer. We told everyone to wear a white shirt that they didn't mind getting dirty and we pulled out some paint and everyone put handprints on each other. Then we all put handprints on a canvas that we had gotten (with plans to cut it up at a later point and give everyone a piece).  

After we finished our activity we all went and cleaned up for lunch. After lunch I went to the Tel with Kayla and we sat up there until dinner just talking and taking in the view. 

After dinner we led Havdallah. My friends Jordan and Mashell led a game. The goal? To hug everyone :D. It was so much fun!
