In yesterday's Yom Kvutza - a special day chanichimot spend together with their age group connecting and collaborating on different projects, Amelimot (5th graders) built a beautiful fort and maze and designed a whole adventure around it. They divided into groups and designed, built, wrote riddles and then tied it all to enjoy together as a kvutza.
The Goofimot went on a quest to find Benny's stolen treasure. They had challenges to complete, the pool to brave, and the thief to chase away.
Once they retrieved the treasure (it was dog's food - it is a treasure for Benny), they decorated and ate cookies!
The Chotrimot (7th graders) went on a family road trip. They were assigned different roles in the family ranging from yoga mom to basketball star to musical prodigy and acted out different scenes with their new personas. After an exhausting "road trip" they sat down at a "drive through movie" where they enjoyed take out food such as doughnuts and popcorn. Overall it was a great time for kvutza and family bonding!!

And Meduzimot, being the supportive kvutza that they are, decided to make up for an important life experience that a few of their friends missed in their non-Gilboa lives (is there such a thing - we are not convinced), and planned and executed a full blown bar-mitzvah celebration for Milla and Tomek. It came with a drash, a revised ceremony (Union Made was sung), a gorgeous venue (the amphitheater on the other side of the meadow) and pie, as well as an evening party, complete with bar-mitzvah style DJing and games. Increased levels of sense of belonging to the Jewish community were reported and registered. Bar Mitzvah video coming soon.
