ways for kids to interact with nature, build
relationships, and grow as leaders at machaneh.

It was often hard to be a shlicha, since I was older than
most people, and it was lonely at times. Luckily, I went
on shlichut with my friend Ofek, who is part of my
kvutza in Israel. It was very special to show her where I
grew up and introduce her to my family, and for her to
experience firsthand so many things about Habonim
Dror that she had heard about from the olim in our
kvutza.

Overall it was a really meaningful experience to go on
shlichut and return to the youth movement, though I
am also very glad to be back in Israel and to have now
finally finished my required quarantine. I write this olim
corner entry on my phone while riding rakevet yisrael,
an experience that always brings a little tear to my eye.
Chag sukkot sameach!
