all about london

 The London seminar was a great exprerience! I met a lot of new people and discovered the fascinating life of the Jewish community of London. Each day we had many activities which helped us understand what being a good leader means. All of them were inspiring and very different one from another. We talked with many amazing people, from M.P.s to a Jewish rapper!

 I enjoyed visiting the Moishe House. I spend much time in the Moishe House Warsaw and the events they do in London were very inspiring. Dancing in darkness sounds exiting! I also admire the work of the companies gathered in the JHub. I learned much about leadership from talking with the people from the youth movements. Still, the most inspiring people were our madrichim – Shir, Theo, Corinne and Joe. This trip wouldn’t be so amazing without them. They also were the perfect example of leaders we want to become.

 The thing I want to share with my community is the Mitzvah Day. I like the way it unites goys and different kinds of Jews, like reformed and orthodox. The Jewish community of Warsaw is like a big family (two big families, actually) and I think the Mitzvah Day would work very well here. The experience I find the less useful was the Three Faiths Forum. I know it’s important to get to know other cultures, and I don’t think it taught me anything new. Still, it was nice to listen to these people and their stories.

 Before the seminar I didn’t really consider myself as a part of the Jewish community. Of course, I am active in my youth movement and I spend a lot of time with my Jewish friends, but I was very critical towards the most active adults in the community. The seminar changed my point of view. Now I understand, that I  can influence the situation in the community. Of course not alone and not now, but in a few years my youth movement and I can do it. After all, we are the future.
