Shabat

Everybody loves Saturday Night! We just finished our first Shabbat of the summer with Havdallah under the stars and some rousing Medurah performances. Our new camp proved to be the perfect place for a serene Shabbat, with our Rosh Camp Zak telling his weekly story next to the stunning lake.

The first tochnit erev was an opening ceremony of the home warming party for our new campsite. The chanichim all created their own miniature tekasim (ceremonies) to express their excitement and appreciation for all the new opportunities this site offers. Among those are the ability to kayak on the lake, which the chotrim did the other day!

Congrats to Rotem and Eran, the chanichim who won the first two ‘Milot shel Hayom’ (‘Words of the Day’). Every day, the Shaliach Elay teaches a new word and offers a special prize--a shirt with that word stenciled on it--to the chanich who uses that word in the most creative way throughout the day. Eran won ‘Yala’ and Rotem won ‘Balagan’. Yala Balagan!

The Mitbach staff has been working hard to bring delicious, nutritious and kosher meals to everyone at camp. Tonight we had our traditional Saturday night hamburgers, always a winner. Other highlights have included curry chicken, enchiladas and fritatas for breakfast! Todah rabah Mitbach staff!

Thank you so very much for the posts. The only problem is that I want some of that food and I won't be able to have any. This summer looks as if it's another "best ever." Keep the amazing job going and have a wonderful time.
