Today was the last Friday of first session! That means it was also the last shabbot of first session!
Our chanichimot (campers) were acutely aware that this would be the last shabbot for many of their friends this summer at machaneh (camp) Galil. Therefor they put extra effort into making sure this shabbot was extra meaningful-putting more ruach (spirit) into shira (song singing/learning time), taking extra time to appreciate one another, and putting extra effort into welcoming shabbot.
As always, shabbot followed a special schedule today with extended avodah (work time) and nikayon tzrif (bunk cleaning time) along with the once a week Madatz pish (Madatz run activity). This week the madatz ran their pish about the ken which are the year round activities. They started with a game discussing influence by placing a variety of pictures of various celebrities in order of amount of influence.
The rest of the day was spent welcoming shabbot by singing songs and playing games.
We then had kabbalat shabbot which was lead by the Bogrimot this week along with our songs to welcome in shabbot. We also had an oneg (funny skit) written by the Chotrimot. We ended the night with rikud (Israeli dancing) and the Madatz put their kids to bed!
Well, see you all again for the last time on Sunday!
-Miriam
