Cohort 2 NAS - Day 1

     After many months of virtually keeping up with our Israeli counterparts in Yerucham, the day to meet them finally arrived. Excitement filled the air as we welcomed our new brothers and sisters with open arms. 
We had a welcome dinner at the Bonwitt home (one of the teens in the Miami cohort), and began our activities as one cohesive and complete group. Learning new and interesting things about each other, we matched up song lyrics in English and in Hebrew, and configured puzzles that spelled out the Diller logo. Our favorite part of the evening, and of the seminar so far, has not only been meeting our Israelis but meeting everyone else’s matches. 
The fact that we could all come together as one group, all from different schools, cities, even from and across the globe is an amazing opportunity and experience to say the least. Thank you to anyone and everyone who helped make this year’s North American Seminar happen! We are so thrilled to be able to spend the rest of the time developing relationships that will last forever.
