We met for a northern Co.Lab Breakfast in the vacation village alongside Kitron Winery, in a green atmosphere and right next to Co.Lab 06. We got to know each other, updated each other, and spoke mainly about identity, belonging, exposure vs. concealment, and on shared living in this time. It was fun to meet like this in the middle of the week for an intimate morning with: Merav Solomon Even Chen, Danny Gal, and Itay Yavin (01), Mendy Rabinowitz (04), Ruthie Saragusti, the strategic planning director of the Israeli office, and Dafna.

Jerusalem Botanical Garden. Feb.16,21
A small group of alumni, with representatives of the Israeli office of UJA and Dafna.
Yotam Reshef (06) hosted us at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, including a tour of the wonderful cherry blossoms that bloom two weeks a year, in sunny and pleasant weather, just before the storm. We talked, among other things, about each person’s different areas of work, about individual resilience, and about social cohesion in this period. It was so interesting that we stayed an hour beyond the original plan.
We were happy to meet with Shmuel Shattach and Hagit Molgan Hammel (03), Eli Schnap, Amir Sznajderman and Shalom Boguslavsky(04) and Shaindy Sadovsky (05).
