Shalom Galil Parents. We had wonderful Shabbat this past weekend. The entire machaneh participated in havdallah, led by the Bogrim. First we listened to a selection of music the kids picked out, while starring up at the dusky sky. Then the Bogrim led us in the ritual brachot, blessing the wine and spices and the ability to create fire. We ushered in the end of the weekend by singing “Everybody loves Saturday Night,” a Nigerian folksong that has been translated into hundreds of languages across the globe. We sing it in multiple languages each week, from English to Swahili, and visitors often come and teach a new version for us to sing.

Love,

Dusty v’Nora
