Minyanim seminar Tel Aviv

We came from " religious" Jerusalem to "flashy" Tel Aviv. As before, we were going to explore this city more and learn it's real face. Jerusalem showed as a full of life, vibrant city good not only for religious or old people. Tel Aviv during our tasks ( asking people on a street about their opinions) showed that Tel Aviv beside being in European style is also cruel, hard to live and in all this pretends to be modern. What can be discoverd, for ex. observing the architecture, Tel Aviv refers to tradition what I found suprising.
Saturday as a free day we spent on a beach, having fun in a water. Later we sat in a cafe and next to the music of Lady Gaga and Britney Spears ( :P) we had Havdala. Very modern, in our own style. Blessings we found in internet in our smartphones, we didn' have a wine but cafe latte. Nevertheless we waited for a right time and we used right words that are used since thousands of years. Our Havdala reflects the new jewish style of living of young people that search their identity in modernity. Then we said to ourselves Shavua Tov and went to have fun in " flashy" Tel Aviv.

seminar Minyanim Israel

I am now on a seminar made by Sochnut. I am in Israel third time, in Jerusalem especially and only yesterday I realy had a chance to discover it's real face. Face of multiculturalism, religous levels different approach to art. I always had a stereotype of this city as religious one, serious, calm. Yesterday I just walk thru the city and could attend on many different music events. Behind every corner there was a stage with artists and in front full of energy audience that sang and danced. There is a festival also where different international groups expose their cultural products. I met there not only Israelis but people around the world.

I started to describe Jerusalem but the truth is that we spend a lot of time in the bus and travel a lot. First time in my life I got possibility to discover real soul of Israel. People, their life, interests, problems that they have to overcome.

5;15 - 3 days ago I woke up and with Eran and other few people we went to see sunrise on a Negev. It was still dark when we started to walk to Ramon. When we got there we sat and in silence we have waited for sunrise which was astonished. Negev a desert was so calm and seems to me be unconditional. With a sun that showed up above her, her image was even more completed. it was so easy to see that desert and sun can not be separated. There are one. Sun without desert can't show it's beauty and desert without sun is just dark spot on a map.

We met also Beduin women. What touched me even more is that the power of human is bigger that power of nature. She fight everyday with stereotypes, society, her friends when she goes to pre college in order to educate her self, open her eyes when other want them to be closed. Most of us have education for granted other need to fight for it. Struggels that this women tries to overcome are nothing compering to life on a desert.Overcoming cultural and social borders is happening every where even on a desert. We normally do not think about it in such a way. Politic, PR, media, minority and majority thats what is shown to us every day. But it is not inspiring it doesnt make us think we have enough of this empty talk. But when you go to Negev and listen to very modesty women that has a power in her self bigger than all politics taken together, you get inspired.

Half of our seminar/ spiritual trip thru Israel passed. We are going today to Tel Aviv. I hope to discover it again and in the same time for the first time.

MJC Kiev 2011

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel"

I think that those words describe very well last conference that I have been on: Muslim Jewish Conference 2011 in Kiev. There was about 70 participants from 18 countries, Muslim and Jews that all together were taking about different contemporary issues. Participants were divided into groups by themes. We weren't able to speak with all participants but for sure as a huge group of people we were able to create nice space, platform where participants could share their thoughts in respect and peaceful way. I must say that workshops were very attractive and well thought. We had time of hard work and time off were we could integrate.
Last but now least we went to Mosque and Synagogue in order to understand each other religion and take passive or active part in praying.
With all responsability I have to say that we achieved at least one of the goals- dialog, integration, connections.

I recommend that event very much. I hope that I will have possibility to attend in next one. For all interested I invite on a conference website and blog.
