On Monday, November 21, ReichMUN held the Acceptance Ceremony for all the new delegates. President, Eden Pomerance, gave an opening speech to congratulate all the acceptance of all the delegates and give thanks to the executive board for all their support in preparing for the year ahead!
Then, the executive board introduced themselves and told us about their hopes for RUMUN this year, including what they each have planned!
We discussed the expectations for the delegates and executive board, including respecting each-other as we all come from very different backgrounds, keeping an open-mind as we discuss difficult topics, coming every week with a positive energy, attendance, and keeping it professional.
To start breaking the ice, we split up into 5 groups to discuss our interests and background to find common ground. Then each group got a chance to come up, introduce themselves and tell us which country they come from. As well as, sharing with the society 3 commonalities amongst their group.
Finally, we got to see that we each bring our own unique perspectives from the International Program and the Israeli school to one society! It is going to be such an exciting, interesting, and eye-opening year to be amongst such a special group. We cannot wait to get to know eachother more, learn about the international arena, and show up strong to national and international conferences!
In May 2022, Reichmans' MUN society went on a historic trip to Rabat, Morocco, for a two-day UN simulation with the Mohammad 6 FGSES University Rabat. This trip came following partnerships between the two universities after the Abraham accords.
12 participants of RUMUN took part along side 40 students from the Moroccan University. The two day simulation was on the topic of cyber security with a surprise crisis committee on the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The trip ended with a lovely Jewish heritage tour of Rabat.
