So I just got back from Kesher and it was amazing. Ignoring all the not so important social drama and some cliquiness, I really connected with people including some new people who are amazing. Driving away and realizing I was never going back to Camp Loma Mar, never eating the weird Mexican food (which wasnt even there this time), never walking up that massive hill just to get to cabins of the Beit Am, never jumping around on the gravel singing at the top of my lungs, or never seeing all of those people in the same place at the same time.
Last night we did the traditional candle pass activity. It went on for over two hours, but the room was silent and everyone listened so well to one another. Even if we haven't come together like last years seniors, it seems like everyone has a solid group of people and seem really happy with their Kesher experience. I wish I had started sooner so that I could have met more people, but the time I had was definately memorable. We all talked about how hard it is to explain Kesher, how the feeling we get at these retreats and in certain situations cannot be put into words. It's a feeling, an incredible feeling, that you have to experience to get. Someone said this quote that I really like and I think it sums stuff up well,
"From the outside looking in, you can't understand it, but from the inside looking out, you can't explain it". That's Kesher.
