The Seminar In Massada

Two years ago, I went on an educational seminar to Massada with Hatzav, my youth movement. It was the last seminar of my first year as a guide for children. I really enjoyed this week and learnt a lot of useful things from the seminar. Therefore, I would like to describe this unforgettable trip in my essay.



First, after we arrived at Massada, our guides gave us some explanations about how to behave during that week. After that, they divided us to five groups, which included guides from all over the country. There we studied how to guide young children of different ages. We had the chance to meet other guides from other cities. We were asked to prepare activities together and we became friends very quickly because we had a lot in common.



In addition to studying guiding strategies, we had a lot of fun. For example, we went to the pool, we had parties and the most enjoyable time was during the nights, when we met and told jokes till we fell asleep. The highlight of the trip was the initiation ceremony. It all started when our guides told us they were going to take us home because we misbehaved the night before. We had been walking for ten minutes until we saw candles. We understood that the guides had played a trick on us and we were very excited and relieved. Then we got the guide certificate. You can imagine how happy we were because we had been guiding for a year by that time.

To conclude, this seminar was one of the most exciting, incredible events I have ever experienced. I will never forget it, because I have made a lot of friends and become a youth guide which is a very important achievment for me.
