Today the Dillers had several short stops before we made our way to Congress. After spending the night at the agricultural college, the group visited Israel’s first Prime Minister David Be- Gurion’s grave. This grave stood upon a huge plateau with a breathtaking view of the endless desert that dominates the state of Israel. Following, the group visited the Bedouin tents, where we feasted on doughy pita-like bread, juicy chicken, flavorful corn and sweet tea. From the Bedouin hospitality the group separated from the Israelis until congress, and made our way to Givat Haviva for the North American Kenes! Since we’ve arrived, the group has made friends from across the US, including students from Pittsburgh, New Jersey (referred to as Metro-West) and San Francisco. As an introduction to each other, each group created a presentation that displayed who they were, and where they were from. Ours was a mash-up between “California Girls” and “We Run LA”!
