Shalom Galil Parents! Today was an introspective day for the Amelim (4th and 5th grade) here at Camp Galil. They enjoyed a beatnik-cafe style discussion pondering diverse topics with the aid of decaf coffee and biscotti. Reflecting on his own beliefs, Lev suggested that there was a God within all of us, and this personal conception didn’t preclude the existence of the big bang or scientific method. Rebecca said “I had a dream about a monster in the toilet and I wonder if that’s what God looks like.” The kids also shared stories about happy memories their families, and about their favorite books and movies.

In the older kids shetach (area) the bogrim are having yom hafooch (backwards day) tonight. They are starting the day with bedtime, evening activity and lowering of the flag, then going to dinner and doing every activity in the normal day, in reverse, finally finishing with the raising of the flag before going to bed.

We’re looking forward to a wonderful conclusion of our week, with more exciting activities for the chanichim.

Love,

Nora and Dusty
