This past Friday, we had our very own workshop prom! A few people from my kvutza assigned the couples and tried to make it so we would be with people we might not know that well. I went with Robert Berman, the one Brit we have on our workshop! One person from each couple was supposed to ask their date to prom. A lot of people rushed the askings last minute, but many of them were still cute and really thought out. Throughout the week Robert had made a bunch of origami roses and attached them to a piece of paper that asked "Naomi, will you be my date??" He then made even more roses and made a bouquet with them! Some of the other people were asked by scavenger hunts, and some were even serenaded! They were all in different locations too. For instance, mine was in my house, but others were in the chadar ochel (dining room) and some were in our front yard! Rafi asked Sara B by having Gabe play the saxophone in the middle of the chadar ochel and then he read aloud a poem asking her to prom! Sam asked Pickle by having a lot of us workshoppers hold signs that said "Pickle", "This Way", "Will", "You", "Go", "To", "Prom", "With", "Me." Each one of us held a different word at different spots in the chadar. Eventually she was led to where Sam was standing and then he asked her to prom! He had even picked a bouquet of flowers around kibbutz to give to her. Jacob Faber did a similar thing, but without the signs. He some of the guys sit on one knee in a line and give Liat a flower as she walked by. I, along with a few others formed a bridge for her to walk under and at the very end Jacob was singing and playing his guitar.
Each couple also decided to go with a theme for the night and dressed up based on whichever theme they went with. We took a step back from the long dress, tuxedo type of appearance that most proms have and decided to have a little bit of creative fun! Since Robert is from England and owns a large British flag, he wore that as a cape on his back, and I did the same except with the Canadian flag that we have on workshop. I know what you're thinking, I'm not Canadian. However, I couldn't seem to find an American flag so the Canadian flag had to do. Some of the other couples dressed up in crazy costumes such as cowgirls, galaxy outfits, all denim, and mismatched outfits.
We also had a prom king and queen! Rachel Fishman and Micah Arnson-Serotta both won (sticks represent!).Two of our Australian friends, Dillon and Elliot, also visited for the weekend and they got to participate in prom too!
