Thursday June 27

We had a great full day here – Baruch Hashem for a regular routine that ran smoothly. A day of peulot, to review, means:

kima, mifkad-by-eidah, tefilah, breakfast, nikayon, shiur, 3 peulot, mincha, lunch, menucha, 2 peulot, shekem, a peulah (today it was chugim!!), showers, hachanot erev, camp-wide mifkad, dinner, maariv, night tochnit, layla tov!

Put those words on flash cards, mix them up and see if you can order them correctly in 30 seconds!

In shiur, we learned about cases where halacha and science might conflict. During the Scientific Revolution, people in Europe began discovering new things about the world through observation and experiments. This sometimes challenged old beliefs, including ideas found in religious texts. Jewish thinkers in Europe had to decide how to respond — some accepted the new science, others defended tradition, and many tried to balance both. We studied a question that came up about a heartless chicken…ask your children, when they get home, if they remember what that was all about 😉

Tonight’s night activity was a camp-wide PANOPLY with each bunk working together to solve puzzels and answer questions. Everyone sat in the Chadar Ochel, which did not help one’s ability to think, focus or concentrate. A little more challenging!

Kaytana had their Color War day! They were so excited and fought hard: Team Moshe vs. Team Yehoshua. They played kickball and soccer for color war points, took part in an apache race, had team marches to lunch and enjoyed  some fun competition down at the agam too! It was really close – 10 points separated them at the end…and Team Yehoshua was the winner.

Machal spent the day at their Chutz around the corner…we will get those pictures soon!

Tomorrow is Friday! That was fast. Can’t belive we have hikes and then Erev Shabbat again.
