Theme: Congress, Day 1

Today we finally made our way to Congress!
When we got off the bus we were welcomed by Tzama (Diller's Past Participant logistics team) and other cohorts who were just as excited as we were! Upon arrival, we received more Diller swag - BUCKET HATS!! When all of the cohorts arrived, we were divided into groups called "Tribes". For the next hour and a bit we participated in ice breakers in order to get to know our new friends from around the world! Tribes were lead by a Coordinator from another Diller community, JCs and Tzama leaders. When we got to Kfar Giladi (the sleeping accommodations during Congress), we all got dressed up and made our way to Gan Gomeh were dinner was served and the opening ceremony for Congress began. 

Opening Ceremony gave us a huge opportunity to mingle and meet new friends and reunite with the friends we made at Keness! Overall, today was an amazing transition into congress!

I can't wait for the next few days ahead! Adina
