Hi everyone,
I know it has been a while since last updating the blog - since Kaveret has started, it is proving much harder to update as every day and each individual tzevet often have very different days.
I will try to give a brief overview of activities, and hopefully, some of the shnatties themselves will begin to 'guest blog' and share some of their experiences with you.
The shnatties are split into 3 different messimot - Holon, Tel Aviv - Jaffa, and Rishon L'Tzion.
All of the tzvatim work with different schools (of different ages) and different after-school educational frameworks such as youth movement kenim or after-school clubs. They work within various sectors of the community - mainly Israeli but also with a large immigrant population. Their days vary, with some shnatties needing to travel roughly an hour each way to get to their messima. Most tzvatim are in the schools/etc between 2-2.5 days a week, with extra time set aside each week for the Yom Tzevet - planning future activities and learning together as a tzevet.
Aside from messima, the shnatties also are studying 2 courses altogether - Israeli History & Society; and Judaism. These take place alternatively on Thursday mornings. On Sunday evenings, they have Hebrew Ulpan, they are split into 2 learning levels, and the focus is more informal - giving them extra tools and skills in order to integrate into their messimot and their lives in Israel.
Mondays and Thursday afternoons are kvutsa days - the madrichim come and run peulot, or sometimes the workshoppers run peulot for themselves too. Some Thursdays have siyurim (excursions) and there also seminars held throughout Kaveret - last week was the first, and the topic was Israeli Society and Economics, including a walking tour throughout Tel Aviv.
An update on the seminar will follow shortly.
