Lunchtime today brought a few things. The first was the start of the yearly tradition of pizza on Fridays. During the summer, we serve pizza for lunch on Friday following a rigorous and energized Shira (Song) session. This shira, in preparation for shabbat, is the ultimate test of ruach (spirit) for all of our chanichim--for those with the most ruach are the first to receive the seven-day-coveted slice of homemade pizza from our very own mitbach (kitchen). The next thing that lunch brought was the end of a morning full of planning and brainstorming for all of out tzevet (staff) va'adot (committees), challah-braiding, and preparation for shabbat dinner with the Camp Committee, which for all intents and purposes serves as Galil's board of directors.
The final and most exciting thing that lunchtime brought today was the arrival of our muchloved Madatzim. The word Madatz is a combination of the two Hebrew words Madrachim (counselors) and Tz'irim (young), making Madatzim our junior counselors or counselors in training. The madatzim were greeted by their madrichim Kali and Amit, and an excited tzevet eager to meet the new comers. Everyone ate pizza, salad, and grapes as they caught up with the madatz and shared their excitement about the upcoming summer.
In this picture are three of our eleven madatzim (from left to right) Julia, Diana, and Jon getting familiarized with the new set up of our mitbach.
That's all for now and until the arrival of our chanichim on Sunday (!!!!!)
Shabbat shalom!
