The Excitement Continues
On Thursday morning, the entire program embarked on a myriad of extreme sports trips, including dirt-biking, water skiing, and laser tag, in addition to softball, flag football, basketball, and a walking tour of Nachlaot. This was followed by chabura tours of the Old City, a group visit to the Kotel for Maariv, culminating with a special Burgers Bar Mishmar in Beit Meir!
For Friday, NCSYers and madrichim went into Yerushalayim and visit Ben Yehuda, Machane Yehuda, and Meah Shearim before kicking off the official beginning of basketball leagues and beginning preparation for Shabbos.
An incredible first Shabbos in Beit Meir included tisches with Rav Burg, Rabbi Gormin, and Rabbi Lebowitz, as well as shiurim given by Rav Schachter, Rabbi Benovitz, Rav Tanchum Cohen, and Rabbi Israeli, concluding with special Seuda Shlishit sichos from Rabbi Benovitz and Rabbi Lebowitz.
During Motzaei Shabbos, the NCSYers enjoyed a Malevah Malka at houses of their respective morning shiur rebbeim, while the staff had a special Melava Malka with Rav Dovid Miller!
Sunday marked the first full day of morning Seder shiurim as well as the kickoff of hockey leagues and the first-ever Chavrusa tumult, where NCSYers got to meet their Night Seder Chavrusas! Additionally, there was first mini Tiyul of the summer to Castel and the Mevaseret Mall, and the program was zocheh to welcome Rav Lavi Greenspan back to our Beis Medrash!
Today was an absolutely incredible day including leagues, full sedarim, and a mini-tiyul during the break to the Bar Kochba caves!
We cannot wait for our first full-day tiyul tomorrow!
Off to a Great Start
On Wednesday morning, the entire camp was treated to a late wakeup, followed by an incredible halacha shiur from Rav Schachter as well as orientation both for the staff and the NCSYers. After lunch, everyone was able to enjoy a variety of options for the afternoon, including playing sports on the courts, catching up on sleep, enjoying a walking tour from madrich Eitan Pfeiffer of the beautiful campuses, and just hanging out with friends. Followed by that was the official kickoff to chaburas, with each group having the ability to learn together for the first time, and afterwards, each chabura enjoyed a special Ben and Jerry’s treat as well as a riveting game of Chabura Trivia, topping off an incredible day.
