Shomrot Second Session!


Hello!! 

This is Tzevet Shomrot 2018 here to talk about our favorite subject: our awesome girls. 

An all-girl kvutza isn’t something that happens often at Gilboa and we wanted to make the most of this unique opportunity. Having the whole kvutza in one tzrif (cabin) meant double the time for bonding, stories, and LOTS of card games. It also meant that we could focus the education for the session on topics that we felt the Shomrot would feel especially passionate about. They had a lot to say in our peula (educational activity) on capitalism and body image as well as many thoughts to share about the education system. On Yom Kvutza, a half day where each age group gets to spend time with each other, the Shomrot transformed into the Frog Scouts - an experience that was described partially on the blog already - they earned badges for aquatic skills, plant knowledge, and for taking down the Beast that had been terrorizing Gilboa for weeks. 

But the best part of working with the Shomrot was the energy and kessem (magic) they brought to every part of the day. From changing some of the lyrics of their cheer to reflect how much they like avodah (work) to working tirelessly on Shabbat to win cleanest tzrif, the Shomrot filled our session with fun and lasting memories. 

Lots of love, Mia, Clara, and Orli.
