Zap!

Zap. Go Back! No we're not making reference to the parents going home at the end of visiting day today. We're only talking about the most anticipated tochnit erev of the summer. But we'll get to that in a moment.

As you know and probably experienced, today was visiting day! We spent the morning doing our usual avodah to prepare for the day. Afterwards, it was all about you! We hope you enjoyed spending the afternoon at machaneh and were able to meet some of your children's madrichim. Better yet, we hope you enjoyed the icebreakers that they put together for you and the chanichim.

So we saw all our family and friends. How do we cram even more excitement into the day? Only with the greatest night time Galil game ever created...ZAP! Zap is a game of twilight espionage. We teach the chanichim how to move invisibly under the dark of night, give them a map of machaneh, and challenge them to make it to the other side without the stealthily hidden madrichim spotting them and saying, "Zap Go Back!" Only the most sneaky and strategically inclined of chanichim can dream of reaching the goal unzapped. This evening's match was even greater than expected, as some of the Amelim were sly enough to successfully complete the course.

Still dressed in camoflauge, we calmed down from our jam-packed day with our goodnight lullaby of rad hayom.

B'shalom,

Josh
