First I would like to let everyone know that there have been some issues with some of the rental phones which are being replaced. This may be a reason why you have not heard form your child or have had trouble calling their phone. another reason could be because they are having an amazing time. Either way I have asked Gil to remind everyone to turn on their phones and call home.
On Saturday the MBIers had a day full of meaningful conversation and relaxation "chill time" They enjoyed a slight sleep in before devling into some important issues. The day included a peulah about why MBI is Israel and the importance of Israel to our movement and their own identities. An important topic to discuss and keep in mind throughout the summer as they travel around.
Along with this peulah they enjoyed 2 sets of chugim (interest groups) These are discussions and activities that are run everyday at machaneh and on Saturday usually take on a more serious tone. The first session of chugim was run by the madrichima dn the second set was run by some of the chanichim. This was an incredible opportunity for peer leadership and a way for the MBIers to share their interest with one another.
After dinner they took part in another amazing camp tradition, musicale. This is a time when anyone who wants to sign a song, play an instrument, read a poem, etc. can do so. Over the years musicale has been a space where kids can express themselves artistically.
From the sounds of it MBI has a lovely restful Shabbat in preparation for their first full week!
