We played " Treasure Hunt" in the Old City in "Beer Sheva", each group was given a map and clues and had to get to various sites in the Old City. In each site the groups young counselor was waiting and operated the group around the theme that the site represented. For example at the Grand Mosque in the Old City there was a debate whether to restore the mosque and its traditional role, or leave it in it's current position as a museum?
In the afternoon, after the game, we were hosted at "ship of the Desert" near Kibbutz "Revivim". After a traditional Bedouin lunch, the Hanichim, under the guidance of the young counselors summarized the activities conducted with beads. The subject was which string of beads every participant took from "Jitli" project ?
Then we went on a journey to experience riding on camels, We rode in pairs, the ride was definitely a unique experience, The route that we rode allowed us spectacular perspectives of the desert and the lake in "Golda Park" that was foothills stretching down where we rode.
As evening arrived Mr. Gary Jacobs also joined us. He participated the summary conversation at the hospitality tent. The Hanichim took turns telling what they take from participation in the project. It was beautiful to notice that each participant told us his unique insights. Certainly it was clear that the project has affected the participants' changed positions and points of view and stereotypes. We returned to Be'er Sheva to get organized, the next day we drove to Tel Aviv
Questions
1. does the peak of Jitli summer trip belong to shared experience or the immediate personal connection that is established among the participants?
2. Is there something symbolic to end the journey in the Negev by riding on camels?
3. During the summary conversation the Hanichim did not reply to their friends remarks, but added their own personal experience. Does this imply the participants' sensitivity to such experiences or that they accepted each other?
