NESTO - Native English Speaking Teen Olim
Jewish Pride, Jewish Pride, we've got Jewish Pride, We won't let it hide cause it comes from deep inside. So shout it out loud Jewish Pride. (Shlock Rock)

This past Shabbat, Junior NESTO were royally hosted in Chashmona’im. Over fifty kids and Madrichim ate Friday night dinner and slept in the homes of brave Chashmona’im residents. After dinner Junior NESTO joined together with kids from the yishuv for our Friday night Peula.

The theme for Shabbat was Jewish Pride, and it ran through everything we did over Shabbat - from our bizarre and creative Jewish Pride skits on Friday night, to the Jewish Pride rap we learnt later on the same evening.
The following day after a rowdy lunch full of singing and a beautiful story about Jewish Pride from Chaim, we continued with our theme. This time the Madrichim had transformed the room into a cafeteria - The Cafe Dilemma.

Each table got a dilemma menu which they discussed for 5-10 minutes, before summoning the waitress for a fresh dilemma. The issues and events that were raised all questioned our Jewish identity and pride.

At Seuda Shlishit, Avrah Nathan from the Yishuv bedazzled us with Jewish facts and figures, our miniscule representation in the world compared to our enormous contributions and what makes us special and different as a people -why in fact we should be proudto call ourselves Jews.

After Havdalah, Rafi (oneof our superb Madrichim)presented a skit representing the different typesof Jews who live in Israel, andhow although each one is so different and may have a world view in stark contrast to the other, they are all proud to be a Jew living in Israel.
