Shalom Galil Parents! This morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs with mushrooms and peppers, in addition to our daily buffet of fresh fruit and cereal. We were joined late by the Bogrim, who had been taking a little sleep-in after their exhilarating Yom Hafooch (backwards day).

Down at the pool, the Chotrim and Sayarim each swam 250 meters in instructional swim. Meanwhile, the Amelim got a taste of traditional kibbutz life in a simulation that included aspects of labor, communal dining, and collective decision-making, while the Bonim put on a mock trial comparing the old and new kibbutz movements.

In the melechet yad (art and crafts center) kids got to make their own blackboards using cardboard and continued working on their camp journals.

Yours truly,

Nora and Dusty
