Farewell Kayitz 2011


Dear Families and Chanichim,

Three days ago, with many prolonged hugs and sad sad songs, we bade farewell to our Kayitz 2011 chanichim. The streaming tears testified to the deeply meaningful experiences the chanichim and madrichim created for themselves this summer. We spent five weeks building a loving kehila (community) together. It was hard to say goodbye.

To recap the final days of machane: We had challenging and fun tiyulim (hikes) followed by a kupa trip into Big Bear to see Harry Potter and eat ice cream. After that was our final Shabbat of the summer, with Musical and Medurah acts reaching new heights of greatness. As always, we ended with a bang on final Messiba (party). Ruach remained high until the last chanich stepped onto the bus.

Many thanks to all the chanichim, madrichim and families that made this summer happen. As the first summer at our new site, it really was a glorious chapter in Gilboa history. Congrats to the Bogrim for completing their time as chanichim and to the madatzim who will be Gilboa leaders in the future.

Of course, there are ways to extend our summer into the year. Go to the kenim and seminars to keep Gilboa in your life all year round!

Fall Seminar is on the way... scheduled to take take place in Los Angeles on October 21 - October 23. Check out our website for more details.

And Winter Camp is scheduled for December 20 - 25. Registration and details on the website.
