Am Yisrael

Goals: The chanichim will understand the importance of seeing the good side in Am Yisrael, and put the other's faults into the right perspective.

Goals: The chanichim will understand that even though we morn the חורבן, חורבן in itself is the first step of the גאולה.

Goals: To teach the chanichim that

1. Every person has something special and different to contribute to the Klal.

2. Achdut means bringing different people together for a common goal.

3. This is the message of the Arba Minim

Goal: Based on everything we have seen so far on the trip, the assimilation, but success of Jews in America, the chanichim should discuss the question; is it ok to call America our home or not? Either way, they should understand that they can never fully feel totally at home in

America while remaining loyal to

Israel, and what ramifications this has on where we as Jews should be living.

Goal: Getting the children to respect other people who are different from ourselves (but of course, the catch is.... we're all different, but we'll get to that later).
