What Happens at
Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed?
Small groups:
As you arrive to Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed, you’ll go straight to your room to get settled in, meet the people in your room and meet your small group leader. You’ll complete your registration (payment and handing in the 3 signed forms) with your small group leader. They will give you your bracelet, name tag, t-shirt, and schedule. They’ll also explain things and answer any questions. You will meet with your small group (the people in your room) every morning before breakfast for a short prayer together and also in the evening before bed. Your small group leader is there to answer questions for you throughout your time at Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed. They are there to help you, pray for you and talk with you. Each small group will get grouped with a few other small groups to form a group of 20. It’s with this group of 20 (leaders included) that you will form worship teams, have meetings, workshops, mealtimes, and free time activities.
Morning worship and teaching:
We will meet in the mornings for worship, teaching, worship training, and sports discipleship. Teachings be from scripture with discussion at the end will be on topics like: “In Sync with His Heart: The importance of staying close to Yeshua” “Creativity from the Creator: Your call to create and to share your faith”, “Keeping the Fire on the Altar Burning - how to invest time in Worship and Prayer in a world full of distractions” The worship, teaching from scripture, and discussion in these sessions will be an hour total.
Worship Workshops:
These are each a half an hour long. Experienced worship leaders and musicians will share with you:
-How to prepare a worship set
-How to musically arrange a song in a certain style
-How to flow from song to song without it sounding choppy or awkward
-How to pray from scriptures and declare praise and truth in between the songs
-How to sing and play spontaneously (based off of scriptures)
⁴Group Instrument Lesson:
This year, the group lessons will only take place once. The rest of the teaching and learning will happen within the context of playing on the worship team.
In this group lesson you’ll split up according to the instruments and roles listed on the registration and you’ll learn the following from experienced musicians, singers, prayer leaders and sound engineers:
-Tips, tricks and techniques to improve your playing
-How to contribute and blend into the worship team with the role or instrument you’re playing
-How to listen to the other musicians and to the worship leader and how to be sensitive to what’s going on musically and spiritually (when to play loud, play quiet, stop..etc)
-How to use the sound equipment and how to interact with the sound man.
Youth Worship Teams:
Everyone coming to Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed can take part in a worship team. Each person needs to choose one of the instruments/roles listed below. This is the role/instrument they will play on a worship team:
Worship Leading
Prayer/Intercession leading (includes reading scriptures)
Voice
Keyboard
Acoustic Guitar
Electric Guitar
Bass
Drums
Darbuka and other Percussion
Running the sound
Worship teams will meet in the morning to put into practice the things they just learned in the worship workshop. If they want they can prepare a worship set of 2-3 songs that they will lead at some point during Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed, before a morning teaching or as part of one of the evening sessions. Every worship team will have several teachers with them who are experienced in 1-3 of the roles and instruments, so they can teach you tricks and techniques with your instrument as you play.
*If you have no experience whatsoever, nor desire nor interest to play on a worship team, lead prayer or run the sound, then you may be able choose the Discipleship and Sports Track that will take place at the same time as the worship workshops and team practices.
Interactive Media Classes
Each person may choose one media subject they want to learn in an afternoon class:
Art - pencil and digital
Photography
Video Production
Dance/Choreography
Drama
Sound Engineering and Recording
Free Time
In the afternoons, you’ll have free time to swim in the pool (if the Covid 19 restrictions allow), play soccer, basketball, skate, or hang out in the conference’s coffeehouse. Students, including young staff, can book a time to write and record in the conference’s makeshift recording studio with one of the conference’s sound engineers.
Sports
Students can go with a designated conference counselor to play soccer, basketball, skateboarding, water games or swimming.
Creative Projects
In your registration form, you can tell us what creative projects interest you the most. You will be split into smaller groups accordingly. Art, Film, Dance, Music, Drama and Sound teachers will be there to help with the various projects.
Here are some Creative Project options:
-A band that will write a song together and record the song
-A band that will record a worship song “live”, audio and video, and make a live worship, music video,
-Production of a music video with a story-line to an already recorded worship song. (This project will require a student director, actors, videographers, and props/makeup/costumes coordinator.)
-Filming a “pilot” (example) for a television drama series that follows several Jewish and Arab Messianic teenagers and shows the persecution they experience at school and/or from their own people/neighborhoods.
-Dance team that will prepare several dances for performance on the boardwalk in Netanya on Saturday night (accompanied by teacher and counselors)
-Drama team that will prepare several skits for performance on the boardwalk in Netanya on Saturday night (accompanied by teacher and counselors)
-Band that will arrange several worship songs in a certain musical style (rock, jazz, mizrachi) for performance on the boardwalk in Netanya on Saturday night (accompanied by teacher and counselors)
-A stop-motion video animation about a testimony or a story that reflects our faith in Yeshua and the truth about God.
-A short, printed graphic novel that tells a story about the life of faith (a testimony story).
In order to do a certain project, you need to either have previous experience in it or it needs to be connected to the specific subjects you are signed up to learn (dance, drama, music or film...etc.)
“Beauty from Inside” ministry session for girls* (optional):
The person giving this workshop is a makeup artist. The girls will do each others makeup as she gives them tips and afterward, she will share from her own life a testimony of what God did in her life. Then there will be some discussion, ministry and prayer for each other.
“Walking in your Identity” ministry session for guys (optional):
This will be a time for the guys to meet, hear testimonies and discuss their identity in Messiah Yeshua and God’s calling on them as young men in this day and age. This will also lead into a time of discussion, ministry and prayer for each other.
Recording Studio Sessions:
We will be setting up one or two temporary recording studios at Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed. There will be experienced sound engineers and music coaches available to help you record there. The studios will be available to groups who are doing a Creative Project that includes writing and/or recording a song and to worship teams from the morning Worship Team times who want to record something they wrote or arranged that morning. They will also be available, in a limited way during free time, to pairs or groups of teenagers and young staff who sign up beforehand for a time-slot in the studio. You can also sign up as a group for a time-slot in a music practice room with a music coach.
Open Mic Cafe:
We would like to set up a cafe with a small stage, refreshments and board games. A place where people can go hang out and relax during the free times. Before and after the evening worship meeting, it will be open for Open Mic. Registrants can sign up to sing a song they wrote or a song they know. Pairs and groups of people can do a song or skit or other performance.
*For health and safety due to the Corona situation:
-Refreshments will be individually packaged for each student (chips, juice, cookies). They will be handed to you by volunteers wearing gloves and using hand sanitizer.
-Only one group will be allowed in the cafe at the same time, so as to avoid mixing of groups as much as possible. We will let the small group leaders know when it is their group’s turn for Open Mic.
Evening Worship Time
This is the only time when groups will be gathered together. These evening meetings will be held outdoors in the amphitheater. We will have worship in Hebrew and Arabic, testimonies from various musicians and young adult leaders leading into times of ministry, prayer and more worship. We will have more in-depth teachings with discussion in the mornings, but in the evenings we want to keep the messages and testimonies short so we can have the option of continuing the prayer and worship longer at the end for those who want to stay and get prayer.
“Shine Your Light” Performance in Netanya:
A small group of students who choose this as their creative project, will go with their leaders and teachers to the boardwalk in Netanya. There they will set up a small portable sound system and the youth will perform dances, songs and drama that reflect the love of Yeshua. The idea is for them to use their gifts and talents to be a light in this world. We will pray for this group before they leave and the next day they can give testimonies from their time there.
Others can go with their small group leaders to the various free time activities such as sports or the Open Mic Cafe.
We will of course need to run Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed according to the latest guidelines from the Ministry of Health in regards to COVID 19. As the dates draw near, we will update you as to what this means and what this will require but for now you can look at our current COVID 19 Guidelines (links to the answer in the above Q&A in regards to Corona).
We’ve allowed for more free time this year and more breaks between classes.
The evening worship meetings will take place outdoors in the open air amphitheater (where we had the Open Mic Night last year) instead of in the main hall.
Instead of Dor Haba/Jil Sa'ed leading up to a night of worship led by youth on the last night, we’ll showcase our creative projects (song recordings, short films, music videos) to the rest of the registrants and put them online. Some groups will go out to perform their dance, drama or songs on the boardwalk in Netanya, accompanied by their teachers and counselors.
Although we will not have the Night of Worship led by youth on the last evening, each youth worship team who wants, will still have the opportunity and responsibility to lead a worship time at some point. We’ll have plenty of time to do this, whether it’s before a workshop, a teaching or an evening meeting.
Students will have the option to “book” the studio or a practice room in order to have a jamming or recording session with friends of their choice, especially if they are writing a song. This can happen during the free times and with a counselor/technician, according to availability.
Instead of taking place only on one evening, the Open Mic Night will happen every evening, God willing, in the coffeehouse, next to the amphitheater area, before and after evening worship. We’ll also have snacks.
*additional changes may occur due to the shorter schedule.
