It was really only a matter of time before we piloted a program to integrate younger chanchim (campers) into life at machaneh (camp). It took a lot of work to create our pre-3rd graders here, but we finally managed to do it. On Wednesday morning Margot, Maya, Rachel, and Sophie arrived at Galil not knowing much about what they would encounter over the next four days. The goal of the program is to give younger campers a taste of life at machaneh (camp) including varied parts of our seder yom daily schedule and even get to see shabbat! As you can see by this picture, these girls and their madrichot (counselors), Molly and Talia, are taking their time at Galil very seriously. Just the way we like it.
Even though the program is technically called "Taste of Galil," we gave them a shicvah (age group) name to fit into the swing of Galil life. We are calling them Nitzanim, which is the hebrew word for buds or blooms. Makes sense, right? The Nitzanim will be here until Sunday morning, and we hope to leave nothing but a sweet taste in their mouths and an eager feeling for the summer to come.
...Check out until Sunday and Shabbat Shalom
