Goodbye from Nitzanim and Abirim

Thank you so much for reading! We had SO much fun this kayitz and we can't wait to share more memories with our friends and family at home!!!!   -Yael, Ella, Noa, Ethan, Grace, and Avi

Mini Maccabiah by Ella

I interviewed different campers about the "Mini Maccabiah" we participated in during sports time today.

Ella: What sport did you do?
Sydney: Soccer.
Sam: Tennis.
Ethan: Tennis.

Ella: Did you win anything?
Sydney: Yes.
Sam: No.
Ethan: No.

Ella: What did you win?
Sydney: Gatorade and a lollipop.


Ella: Did you have a lot of fun?
Sydney: Yes, because I scored a lot of goals.
Sam: Yes, because I didn't lose every single game and it was fun overall.
Ethan: Sort of because my partner and I had to wait a long time to play, but it was worth the wait.

Tzachazemer by Noa

The Tzophim play was excellent. The songs were beautiful, the costumes were exquisite, and the acting was superb. Even if you didn't understand hebrew, you could tell what was going on. "The transitions were very funny when people would yell out funny things," said Yael. "It was very funny when they were moving benches and people say "You go girl! Lift that bench!" Before the play, Etgar Hip Hop and Etgar band performed. "The band was really good, especially the singers," said Ethan. All in all, Tzachazemer was the place to be last night!

Happy Birthday to Yael!!

Guess what today is! It's my birthday! Today I am turning 10 years old! It has been very fun, and I know that really soon I'll be able to see my parents and celebrate at home. But I'm really glad I'm 10! I've really enjoyed being able to celebrate my birthday with my friends at camp. The best part: I can celebrate my bithday at camp and at home!

Last Shabbat of Second Session by Ethan

The last Shabbat was the best Shabbat of camp. Amitzim was giving out lemonade and brownies right by the chadar. Most of my edah missed it, including me. Then, Nitzanim sat down in a big circle by bunks three and four, and told each other their highlights of the week. Ari Polsky didn't call on me. I didn't raise my hand though. Then we went through the Machon line into Kikar-tzion. We had my 2nd favorite meal in camp. It was the best last Shabbat ever!

Human Battleship by Grace

While I was interviewing people about Dalia, I camp across a tent activity of live battleship at the handball court. They were sitting on opposite sides of the handball court and throwing water balloons to the other side, trying to hit other girls. It was hilarious to watch them squeal about getting wet. Sollelim girls are very entertaining!
