Boneh Return from Chofesh

Boneh shnatties returned to Ein Dor from Pesach chofesh this week. I am confident that many used their free time to contemplate the meaning of freedom, inspired by the Boneh Seder on the Sunday evening before they left. What made the Boneh seder special? I'll let the shnatties answer for themselves, from the Haggadah they prepared:

Mah Nishtana?
Why is our Seder different from all other Seders?

On all other nights we sit with our families; and now, we sit on the other side of the world in our moadon on a kibbutz in the middle of nowhere, and we enjoy the company of our friends.

For the first time we sit around a table at a seder prepared and designed by us. We are in an environment created to ensure that we find meaning in our seder through analysis and questioning of our traditions and our beliefs.

For the first time it isn't our mums and grannies cooking our food. We have prepared our own meal; food cooked with our own hands, with produce from our own garden, in our year in Israel.

This Seder is different from all other Seders because all other seders we go back to our house and our cousins go back to theirs. This seder we are all here and we are together enjoying the night, helping each other gain as much as we can from it, until we pass out and wake up next to Gary.

The Haggadah they prepared mentioned produce from their own garden. Here are two photos of the garden. The first is from before the shnatties arrived, and the second is from this week:
