The day began again with majority of our group sleeping through morning davening, the madrichim I think are getting sick of trying to wake us up in the morning. After breakfast, we loaded onto the coach headed to Jerusalem forest to plant a tree, a mitzvah in itself, done by all 43 of us. After returning to Beit Yehuda, after getting our hands a little dirty at the forest we returned for lunch, followed by the beginning of the Leadership Institute portion of our year on Lehava. We chose a course to take and went from there, I chose the "Being a leader on Hach" and learned many leadership qualities and played games reminiscing about past leaders that have touched our lives. It made me think about whether or not I had potential to be a leader and maybe what traits I was missing to be a good one. The program didn't end there we continued with a group development course that consisted of dramatic aspects as well as the roles that people assume in a group situation; it was interesting to see the way that people divided themselves into different roles that the instructor defined. The leadership institute portion of the day was finished there and after evening prayers the girls had a free evening to have a night on the town which I used as an opportunity to begin reading my book "The Art of Racing in the Rain".
