During our most recent overnight we learned about how to run our impact projects with the help of a guest speaker named Avram Mandel, who is working on establishing a gap year called Tzedek America.
Our first night focused on catching up with each other by discussing the state of our projects. We discussed why we are participating in the projects we joined. From a commitment to Israel or to our fellow man we all had our reason why we are committing ourselves to our projects. After being introduced to Avram and learning about his life and how he grew his gap year program, we had a powerful program where we released our prayers into the twilight. Following, we enjoyed the great Alonim food and discussed life and college with Avram. We ended the night with another discussion, ending the night with high spirits ready for a day to expand on our projects.
In the morning we all worked hard to make great strides in our projects. Whether we had tentative plan or a concrete goal we all made plans, solidified goals, and planned budgets. After coming together as a group, we all discussed how far we had come in the past few hours. After meeting with the Tour de Summer Camp rider for lunch, who we worked with last year, we ended the day after finalizing our plans for the next workshop.
