Zombie Survival Guide: Galil Style

Check in...

A little over two weeks ago Galil's tzevet (staff) gathered for a very serious peulah (program) to

discuss if we could seriously handle a zombie invasion while protecting machaneh (camp), the chanichim (campers), and ourselves. The verdict in our optimistic nature is that, yes, we could.

It is important to note that just because we are in the Galil bubble, it doesn't exempt us from the New Moon and tales from beyond media hype. Also, a zombie invasion serves as a great metaphor for what motivates us to take responsibility for one another and ourselves. In case you missed it, that's the take-home message: we need to do what it takes to protect and care for our community.

And so, the tzevet gathered to devise a real plan for real considerations of a real zombie invasion. So when it came time to plan a yom meuchad (special day) that is educationally based in an intensely creative way, putting our zombie plan to the test seemed like a totally viable option.

Last night the zombies came to machaneh, gushing

with the best stage make-up tzevet can offer.

And now in the most pacifistic way possible, we are training an army to fight the zombies. Of course we will fight the good fight and of course we will win and goodness will prevail, but not without

some crazy stunts between now and then. For serious training we have rented a forty-foot inflatable obstacle course to test speed and agility of our community (this may just be the highlight of everyone's summer). Currently, we are all testing out the use of massive amounts of shaving cream as a zombie repellent, and it may just take a visit from the Ottsville Fire Department (yes we went there) to use their hoses, flashy lights, and maybe the sirens to finish off the last of the zombies. Good triumphs over evil

yet again.
