Sunday Aug 16
Today was our last regular day of camp and it was packed with so much fun and memories. In Shiur today campers learned about Yoshiyahu and his finding a Sefer Torah. This was a great opportunity to talk about Teshuva and reconnecting with Hashem as we head into Elul. Our day continued with lots of […]
Thursday Aug 13 – Rosh Chodesh Day 1
Rosh Chodesh Elul?! Crazy to start Elul while still in camp, but this year’s Chagim are heading our way soon, and so after “sleeping in” a bit post-color war and then having Hallel and Musaf in tefilah – let’s just say the Amish had been up for many hours by the time we were heading […]
Wed Aug 12 – Color War Day 2
The second day of color war was intense – our chanichim were in it to win it! Shiur on color war focuses on the team names. So while yesterday’s shiur focused on team Navi, today’s shiur was about team Kohen. The campers learned about the roles kohanim played besides priests in the Mikdash. They taught Torah […]
Tuesday Aug 11 – Color War Day 1
Color War 2026 is a fierce battle between Prophets and Priests, a.k.a. Team NAVI and Team KOHEN. Blue and Green VS. Orange and Yellow! Let the games (and hoarse voices) begin 😊 Kima was at 7:30 this morning and somehow, for some reason 😉 everyone was on time for tefilah. Ha! The excitement for these […]
Monday August 10 – Color War breakout!!
Today’s shiur was about King Yeravam, the first King of the Northern Kingdom (after the nation was split) and his leading Bnei Yisrael to do avodah zarah. Campers learned that in addition to serving false gods, there is an additional problem/danger with serving Hashem through graven images and unauthorized sites of worship. Bamot, the altars […]
Sunday Aug 9 – Yom Tochnit
Shavua Tov! We are so excited to kick off the week and start the excitement for color war! Our shiur today was about the Beit HaMikdash that Shlomo built. (On Friday we learned about why David HaMelech, who had the idea to build Hashem a permanent beautiful home, was not given the green light to […]
Thursday Aug 6
This morning our shiur was about the ארון; we went back to this topic that we learned about on the chutz when our morim did skits about the different places the aron was taken and how people related to this vessel from the mishkan. Today, we brought up the danger that exists in the possibility […]
Wed Aug 5
We woke up at the Chutz site, davened Shacharit, ate some breakfast and then had shiur. The shiur, once again, presented 5 stations and the eidot rotated around to each of them. At each station the chanichim learned about one of 5 chapters of Tehillim that David Hamelech wrote. The chapters chosen were ones written […]
Tuesday Aug 4 – Chutz Day 2
The pictures say it all – it has been very sunny and warm weather at our Chutz this session, and so fun and relaxing to hang out cooking around the fire for hours. There is so much shade from the hundreds of trees, and there is plenty of water, so it is easy for everyone […]
Monday Aug 3 – Chutz Day 1
Today all of our chanichim, hadracha and tzevet left for the Machane Chutz! We have officially “set up camp” a 15 min walk from camp – and our director Yakov Fleischmann and some of our security team moved out there as well! The breakout was unforgettable: Shaul (well, actually Josh, our Rosh Eida Bet) was starting […]
