The Bogrim left for the JRF frisbee tournament this morning. They went bearing tie-dye shirts and tons of ruach, and wowed the other machanot teams with their cheers and games. They managed to come in second place in the tournament overall, but guess what! They brought home first place in ruach! Yeah Bogrim!
For Pish this morning the Sayarim went on a special tikkun olam project of their own. They rode the bus down to a local elderly home and spent time with the residents, making crafts and singing songs. When they got back they discussed how they felt about community service and how it relates to their own bar/bat mitzvahs coming up. Traditionally many b'nei mitzvah do projects in the community, and the Sayarim discussed why they do their projects and what meaning it has for them.
The Bonim went on ropes today, the last shichva to climb up in the trees this summer. Since there are only a few second-sessioners, they had a tranquil but pleasant day on the Incline Log, Catwalk, Heebie Jeebie, and Zip Line.
For tochnit erev the Galil community took a trip down to Atlantic City to enjoy a night at the casinos. We had all kinds of fun enjoyment, including a massage station, popcorn, card games, and even a live jazz band made up of some of the madrichim! They were very satisfied with the night, and now we're all ready for tomorrow, the beginning of the last Shabbat this summer.
