As the Diller Teen Fellows Cape Town Co-ordinator, I am thrilled to share the exciting developments in our programme as we gear up for an impactful year ahead. After two engaging sessions focusing on bonding, self-discovery, and group identity, we now have a brief hiatus before our much-anticipated Shabbaton in January.
During this break, our dedicated staff and fellows are diving into one-on-one sessions, where personal connections are fostered over ice cream or coffee. These interactions aim to deepen the understanding of each individual’s aspirations and strengths, laying the foundation for a close-knit group.
In the spirit of giving back, we have also embarked on a community service initiative to spread light in the darkness we’re facing during this time. Our fellows are actively involved in collecting clothes for the homeless, preparing sandwiches for the hungry, and contributing to various volunteer efforts. This commitment to social responsibility adds a meaningful layer to our fellowship experience, emphasising the importance of making a positive impact on the world around us.
Looking ahead, we are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Shabbatonim, Jewish Community Mifgash (JCM), and workshops that will further enrich our fellows’ experiences. As we dive into preparations, my focus is on ensuring that this year exceeds expectations, becoming a chapter in the lives of our fellows that they will cherish and remember greatly. Stay tuned for more updates on our exciting journey in the coming months!
