As the last week of NCSY Kollel 2018 begins, the finish line for the summer is very much in sight. This has infused the campers and staff with a sense of urgency as every moment and opportunity presented must be capitalized on before the summer ends and we are forced to leave the wonderful environment we find ourselves in.
This intensity could be felt in morning and night sedarim as well as chaburas as the learning opportunities become increasingly limited. In addition to the normally scheduled learning there was a noticeable uptick in post-maariv learning as campers and staff joined together to maximize the hours spent in the Beis Medrash.
There was also something extra out on the courts as the final day of the regular season concluded with several play-off spots still up for grabs. Several crucial games went down to the wire and as the dust settled we officially have a 22-team Play-off bracket and 20 team NIT. More excitement s sure to follow as the summer winds down.
