Leaving the south

Tomorrow the shnatties will be departing from Hatzerim, after 6 lovely weeks down south. Hatzerim has been very accommodating, and the majority of the shnatties had an opportunity to meet and experience a real and functioning kibbutz! A lot of the group also utilised the hebrew ulpan (lessons), and the increased interactions with Israelis, to work on improving their language skills!
During this period, the whole group also split into 2 locations for Kaveret - Acco and Carmiel, and there was also a continuation of the Poland preparations.
This week the shnatties will be focusing on unpacking and setting up their new homes for the next 3 months; and will be spending 2 days at Lochamei Hagetaot (ghetto fighters) Museum, juts north of Acco, continuing the Poland process preparations.
Late Thursday night/Friday morning the group departs for Poland.
We will send another update out beforehand!
