Seminars Update

Hi everyone!
Today the workshoppers regrouped after their winter break period, the majority of whom spent at least some time in warm and sunny Eilat.
Both of the kvutsot are spending the weekend on Kibbutz, although Itamar and Lihi's are in the north today, watching (or participating)! in an ice-hockey match in Metula. Ruth and Amir's kvutsa are going through an intense kvutsa relationships seminar [which Itamar and Lihi's kvutsa have scheduled in a few weeks]. On Sunday both kvutsot set off on Habo History Seminar, spending a few days based near the Kinneret, and then a few days based near Netanya. This seminar looks at the history of Habonim Dror, by visiting kibbutzim Habonim Dror has established throughout history and speaking with many vatikim (former movement members), hearing about the HD in their day. There is also the opportunity to learn about the crisis in the kibbutz movement, and examine how this has affected HD today. This seminar allows the workshoppers to have a new perspective and see new elements of the movement.
On Sunday 13th, the workshoppers will begin their Kaveret preparation seminar, and on the 16th they will move into Acco and Karmiel, for the Kaveret portion of workshop. The first few days in their Kaveret locations are dedicated to unpacking, setting up their houses, and getting to know their cities. As the tzevet (staff) are all on seminars with the workshoppers for the next few weeks, updates to this blog might be a little less frequent. Please feel free to email Michael Kanter if you have any questions.
