Making the Rounds in Sadnaot

Check in...

Tzevet (staff) at Galil is broken down into a few parts. The bulk of our tzevet is comprised of madrichim (counselors), then tzevet mitbach (kitchen staff), tzevet techni (tech staff), the Mazkirut (directors), and last, but certainly not least, our specialists. The specialists do
things like open the melechet yad (our art room) and water the gan (garden); but they also have roles as vital resources for a lot of things at machaneh (camp) that regular tzevet just can't provide. Because of this, we have a block each day designated specifically for the specialists called sadnaot (workshops). Each sadna is visited by a different kvutzah on a
schedule that rotates every two days; so throughout the course of the session, our chanichim get the opportunity to connect to mediums that they may not have been exposed to by choice.

Duirng sadnaot, chanichim who do not consider themselves to be "out doorsy" do leadership training on our low ropes course, or get their
hands a little muddy in the gan, or some of our chanichim who spend a lot of time on the migrash kadorsal (basketball court) get a chance to work on their visual arts and
expression in the melechet yad. Also, though we make a concerted effort to incorporate
ivrit (hebrew) into our day-to-day activities, we have a special z'man Yisrael (Israel Time) with our Israeli Mishlachat (ambassadors/counselors) to teach the chanichim a little more ivrit and what's up in Eretz Yisrael (The Land of Israel).
