Hey all!
I didn't update in a while, and suddenly I noticed that my last journal post was on May!

So I'll talk about something cool I did recently:
Well, the Working and Studying Youth movement has a summer activity for seventeen-years-old members, so it happened to be me and my group this year. It's called "Rafsodia" (from lack of any translation), and it's all about building a raft with your group and then cross the Kinneret with it.
We all built it together and had teamwork that far exceeded my expectations. I predicted that everyone would sit in the side and watch a handful of people work, but that wasn't the case, and I was surprised and happy.
After two days of work, our raft was given permission and we hit the seas! I, with a few more people (some of which joined us just for the cruise) was responsible for steering the sail. Meaning, I needed to pull a rope and hold it all the time for the raft to go right.
There were other roles on the raft and during the construction, too: some were responsible for food, others for the steering wheel in the back of the raft, one was the navigator, etc. They all did their work as best as they could.
So we crossed the Kinneret, and then came the toughest, most annoying part of the Rafsodia: taking the raft down and putting everything in its place. The biggest fear in this part is that everyone would "disappear" and won't help getting things done, but again, everyone surprisingly did their part and we got it over with really quickly. There was a feeling that we're all united very strongly.
In short, it was a terrific experience, filled with good company and one heck of a story.
That's all.
