The last week of Kollel continues with the camp constantly striving for bigger and better moments to conclude the summer. The day kicked off with an exciting visit from Rav Shalom Rosner, who spoke to staff and campers. Rav Rosner is both a former Kollel parent as well as a Rebbe and mentor to many of the campers and staff.
The excitement continued into the afternoon with the first round of playoffs. In addition to the 10 playoff and NIT games, several All-Star games were played which involved the post-10th graders, post- 11th graders, sports staff, madrichim, and Head Staff. Overall, it was a fun time which allowed for Kollel’s best players to share the court together and play some phenomenal basketball.
In lieu of traditional night seder, the Kollel had its 2nd and final Leil Iyun of the summer featuring a stacked line-up of speakers. There were 2 panels consisting of Rav Burg and Rav Bronfeld and Rav Blachman paired up with Rav Taragin. The action culminated with a schmooze from renowned speaker Charlie Hararay who was mechazek the Kollel with words of inspiration before maariv. There was a strong post-maariv learning presence in the Beis all the way up to curfew, which brought this amazing day to an end.
