After an exciting Saturday filled with singing, relaxing and
ice cream, it was time to return to our normal schedule today. During peula
shichvah, the amelim practiced trust and communication by visiting our low ropes
course, the chotrim discussed the necessary components of respect, and the
sayarim visited the gan, or garden, where they talked about locally grown and
organic food.
The tzophim took a walk along the creek ending in s’mores. The bonim played human paint twister and the bogrim participated in a bonding
activity where they wrote letters to each other and their whole kvutza.
The madatz, recently returned from Camp Na'aleh in New York, had a yom
kvutza and followed their own schedule for the day! Their day consisted of time to work
on their madatz project, team building activities, and talking about plans
after high school by meeting with a panel of older madrichim, who each took
different paths after high school including Habonim Dror’s workshop program,
going straight to college, or participating in other gap year programs.
Tonight, for tochnit erev is wish night, where madrichim
“grant chanichim’s wishes.” At the start of the session, chanichim wrote down three of their greatest wishes, and tonight madrichim will go through whatever means
possible to make one of those wishes come true, even if it gives the wish a twist. For a chanich who requested a time machine, the madrichim gave him a machine that releases thyme. Some of the wishes this year
included being rosh for a day, going on a date with Ringo Starr, and taking a
bubble bath! We can’t wait to see how they make these wishes come true.
