During this workshop, the Diller teens worked with artist Amy Kassiola, a Jewish educator and professional artist, to create art pieces (out of lunch boxes)that express personal and communal Jewish identity. The three dimensionality of the lunch boxes allowed for multiple forms of expression. The teens explored their Jewish identity on the outside as well as on the inside.

A highlight of the DTF program is a 12-day Mifgash (meeting) between Israeli teens from Etzba Ha Galil in Northern Israel who are also taking part in a leadership program called "Manhigut Esreh" ("Teen Leadership"). The Diller and the Manhigut Esreh teens spent a weekend retreat together, went bowling, and concluded the Mifgash with a home hospitality weekend, in which the Israelis stayed at the Diller teens' homes. The Migash ended with a big celebration with leaders from the community in attendance.

The first retreat for the Diller teens took place over the weekend of February 26-29, 2006 at the Marin Headlands. Highlights of the retreat included a beautiful Shabbat, in-depth discussions of important current issues, including the root causes of the conflict in the Middle East and a hike through the headlands to a Torah reading. Additionally, the teens planned their group service projects and played a game in which they transformed their bodies into maps of Israel.
