Saturday - the fourth day of jitli summer trip

Saturday - the fourth day of jitli summer trip
The activity was scheduled to begin at 10 am. The young counselors decided to make another "team spirit" activity, so they woke the hanichim up at five am, Took them out of their rooms, to watch the sunrise together among other actions,. We, the adult educators slept in the same time, so I'd love to see pictures and hear stories about this activity.
Then the day began again at ten in the morning, Because the Sabbath the activities were around the hostel in Tel Hai. We started at Tel Hai , the settlement , where Joseph Trumpeldor was killed defending .. The hanichim visited the site museum and heard the story of Trumpeldor.
It was interesting to hear that in the past, the Jews and the Shi'ite Muslims were like brothers, kept each other, Today the situation is different.
The second stop was to visit a stash in Kibbutz Kfar Giladi, it seemed that we could not be on time and so as not to disappoint the kibbutz member who was waiting for us to visit, We the educators went to hear the fascinating story of one of the stash of Kfar Giladi .( see video clip)
After lunch we visited the Museum of Photography at Tel Hai industrial center that combines art and industry, we saw fascinating photos of Israel since the beginning of the 20th century. the name of the photographer is sShweig Shmuel Yosef. No doubt his photography was at the level of art.
We saw the technique in three dimensions as it developed early last century
Photo games workshop was carried out and the results can be seen in special pictures.
Toward the evening, we gathered for activities to learn how to listen to each other,
Halil and I presented a conflict between neighbors, and showed how good will and paying attention can solve the the majority of conflicts
Shoshi Israeli came to Tel Hai to demonstrate and teach the Hanichim how to dance flamenco. There were three workshops to an end the Hanichim danced flamenco drummed and sang. The source of Flamenco dance is in Spain. it recalls the glory days of Spain where Jews and Muslims lived together and created and wrote. It wasa joyous evening with a lot of positive energy. Thank you Shosi.
Questions:
1. Tel Hai story is a good example of different narratives in different perspectives, Jewish and Arab residents of the Galilee, Arab Shia people of Lebanon will tell a significant historical event in different perspective. Does the story become a unifier or separator?.
2.A successful entrepreneur Stef Wertheimer, is his story typical? what can I as a jitli member can learn from his story?
3. Art of photography, art in the dance, Is there a lot of good in art because the arts speak the same language to all people?
4. Does a constructive way to resolve conflicts depend on the initial approach of the litigants?
Happy New Year and Eed El Fitter Mubbarach
