Programs

5/3- Saturday

Emma and Danielle led an amazing program after Havdallah. They did what I know as friendship circle, something we do at the end of every Kallah. We all walked together to a grassy spot by the Hader Ochel and sat in a circle with our backs facing in and eyes closed. Each person had a number 1-9 and when your number was called you got up. They would tell you to tap some one who...and you could go tap as many people as you wanted and they don't know who tapped them. Some of the questions they used were:

Tap someone who made you laugh

Tap someone who your first impression was wrong

Tap someone who has dreams that you think they are capable of fulfilling

Tap someone who you would go to for advice

Even though I've done this before, it was completely different. This time I knew everyone in the circle and have had a connection with everyone. This made it special. The entire time I was tearing up but also I noticed that i couldn't stop smiling every time I heard a new question and everyone I felt someone tap me. 

It put us all in a sad mood to realize that we only have a short time left together in this place. But it also made us realize that we have to make the best of it.

After that activity I ended up with some of my friends in a circle on the pavement singing songs with a guitar. It just added to the night.
