The Journey of Milo and Haymishe Cookies

By -

This week the fellows were exposed to the International Diller Teen Fellows model of project planning. Throughout the year, each Diller Teen Fellows group has this session ran for them in preparation for their Self-Managment Shabbaton. In Israel this session is called "Hamasa Shel Shoko Ve'Lachmaiya" (The Journey of Chocolate Milk and Bread Rolls), in North America it is the "Journey of Milk and Cookies", we in Melbourne had the "Journey of Milo and Haymishe Cookies".

The model looks at who one should prepare for a project, by figuring out the Mission, Vision and goals. We explored how to write these by being split up into group of organisations from governments, to charity organisations and created mission and vision statements as well as a set of goals.


 We then brainstormed a theme for our Shabbaton that we will run in May.

 This session was very influential. We learnt some incredibly useful skills in planning. We learnt the importance having a goal and a way how to do it. We discussed how we want our future Shabbatons to go and flourish. It was a very enjoyable workshop.

TUESDAY: Good morning Diller parents! Our fellows arrived for  Congress yesterday afternoon and have had a very busy past 36 hours. After arriving at our accommodation in kibbutz Manara (photo of the beautiful view attached), and meeting the other partnership communities located at Manara the fellows attended the opening ceremony for Congress. This was a beautiful evening with food stalls and mingling of all 700 fellows, as well as presentations from Diller, including from Helen Diller's daughter. It was a lovely, but very hot, evening, with beautiful photos to come as Diller had drone photography the event.

Meeting the world

On Friday the 8 th of July I was leader of the day. During which, our group woke up in the Bedouin tent accompanied by our security guard Ron. We indulged in a quick breakfast made especially for us by the Bedouins and at 7:30 in the morning we headed to the Dead Sea. It was a scorching hot day, however our abundance of sunscreen and consumption of water enabled us to resist the weather and positively progress throughout the day. By 9am we had all entered the Dead Sea floating about. After a good 45 minutes in the water we headed to a café near by and overpaid for ice-cream and ice coffee. Following some ice creamy action we hoped on the bus and headed to Ramat Rachel hotel in Jerusalem for Kennes. As soon as we disembarked from the bus we were treated like celebrities. “SORRY, are you from Australia?”, one Toronto girl screamed. “I actually love your accent,” another. We had finally arrived at Kennes! - Jordan

Since arriving at Congress it has been a very busy past 2 days for the fellows.  Following a free Shabbat, where teens experienced life throughout the Golan, on  Sunday the fellows arrived at Congress after a leisurely drive to Tel Hai, especially in comparison to Cohorts such as Eilat which left at 3.30am. After  arriving at our accommodation in kibbutz Manara (photo of the beautiful view attached), and meeting the other partnership communities located at Manara, the fellows attended the Opening Ceremony for Congress.  This was a beautiful evening with food stalls and an opportunity to start mingling with some of the 700 fellows. As well as an evening filled with videos, dances and lots of fun, the fellows were privileged to hear from Helen Diller's daughter, Jacqui Safier. It was a lovely, but very hot, evening, with beautiful photos to come as Diller had drone photography the event. On Monday morning the fellows went to Tel Hai University campus where...
