NCSY Kollel continued forward this Sunday, still riding high off of our amazing Shabbos together. A strong Morning Seder was followed by lunch and mincha after which the special activity of the day was revealed.

Every chaburah chose from a number of exciting options which contained some sort of activity and food. Choices ranged from the pool, to apache relay races, to soccer. Chaburas had to quickly decide on an option and snag a spot on the trip they wanted. An abbreviated league break was followed by the activities themselves win which much ruach and fun was had.

Night Seder had a special twist as well. NCSY Kollel was joined for the night by the TJJ bus from the West Coast. Kids from public school learned side-by-side with their peers from Yeshiva day school in a beautiful moment of brotherhood.

Stay with us for more exciting updates as the summer progresses.

NCSY Kollel was excited to welcome Rabbi Shaya Greenwald, Rosh Kollel of Yeshivat Yishrei Lev tonight. Rabbi Greenwald delivered a shiur to the NCSYers on zmanim in halacha.

Shabbos on NCSY Kollel is always a highlight of the summer, however this shabbos, was absolutely indescribable. Shabbos began with a beautiful kabbalas shabbos, and words of Torah from Rabbi Benovitz reminding the NCSYers to carve out their own hopes and dreams for the summer, and to set remind themselves of how much they could accomplish in just 6 weeks of being on Kollel. Our tisch on Friday night, highlighted by words of Torah from Rav Mordechai Burg was electrifying, and the words of song filled the air until the late hours of the evening. Shabbos day had its share of highlights as well with chaburahs, shiurim and hanging out with each other beginning to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. We ended shabbos with words of torah from Rabbi Lebowitz and the beautiful sun set over the hills of yerushalayim highly anticipating our first full week of NCSY Kollel.
After shabbos, all NCSYers had the unique opportunity to travel to their rabbeims homes for a maleve malka, all post 11th graders made their way to Kraft stadium for a football tournament followed by melave malka at the world famous Halo Tayman shwarma store, and staff were privileged to hear from the dean on RIETS, Rabbi Menachem Penner, to close out a most inspiring shabbos.
We are looking forward to a jam packed week here in Bet Meir, and throughout the land of Israeli, stay tuned for updates!
Shavua Tov!

NCSY kollel was excited to welcome TJJ bus 7 from the West Coast and the U.K along with their director, Rabbi Doovie Jacoby. The boys from TJJ we’re able to come join the NCSY Kollel family in our bais medrash for a beautiful and inspiring night Seder.

NCSY kollel was excited to welcome Rabbi Benji Horowitz of Katz Yeshiva High School, and former head madrich on NCSY Kollel. Rabbi Horowitz spent the afternoon catching up with his students and listening to their wonderful experiences thus far on NCSY Kollel.

It was a day of firsts on NCSY Kollel. The first morning Seder was cut short to make time for the first chaburot. Both learning slots had a ton of energy as the kol torah echoed through the Beit Medrash and classrooms.

After lunch and Mincha, kollel left for its first tiyul of the summer. The NCSYers split off into 8 separate trips. Everyone came back exhausted but happy.

But the day wasn’t yet done. The night saw the launching of our famous night Seder program. Campers and staff learnt bchavrusa and night Rebbeim gave shiur as the learning lasted late into the night.
