Our first session this morning was a panel discussion of "the Israel experience" with three people who work on different aspects of trips to Israel. It was a very lively discussion, with a lot of participation by the class and the presenters. We then did an exercise to help us think about our feelings about Israel as a lead in to splitting into small groups to sketch out ideas for Israel visits. After lunch we reconvened to present our ideas and discuss them with the group. We then had the rest of the afternoon free, so I took a nap. We were free for dinner and the evening, and I met with Robin, Rachel, and Michael to work on our group presentation at dinner.
