This Friday, the Bochurim embarked on an inspiring Mivtzoim trip to spread Torah, Mitzvos and warm Yiddishkeit in the beautiful cities of Tveryah, Kiryat Shmona, Carmiel, Chatzor, Rosh Pina, and Tzfas. Their enthusiastic Hafotza touched the hearts of many and left a lasting impact.
Following Mivtzoim, the Bochurim had the opportunity to dip in the holy Arizal's Mikvah in the mountains of Tzfas.
On Tuesday, the Bochurim headed to Dishon, which is located halfway between Tsfas and Kiryat Shemona, for an exhilarating off-road "Tractoronim" ride. They stopped along the trail to take in the beautiful views, and at times, even caught glimpses of Lebanon. After the thrilling ride, we visited the Galil Mountain Winery in Yiron to witness and learn about the winemaking process. Next, we made our way to Meron to Daven Mincha at the Kever of Rashbi. Following that, we stopped at a park in Chatzerot to enjoy a delicious BBQ. Finally, we concluded the smashing day with a refreshing evening swim at a large swimming facility in Kiryat Shemona.
Motzei Shabbos the Talmidim gathered in the zal for a most exciting Sports Draft. This year's sports is called "The League of Prophets" and each team is named with a different Sefer in Tanach. The captains were announced, who then chose their co-captains and first few round picks. After which the sports directors and the captains retired behind closed doors to pick the rest of their teams.
After the sports draft the Talmidim enjoyed a delicious Melave Malkah with Pizza!
On Friday we filled up our water backpacks and headed out to Chatzbani, a fun and exciting water hike where we enjoyed the hike and refreshing water and even stopped to swim for a while. Afterwards we went to Har Chermonit where we took in the breathtaking views including views of Syria and listened to the interesting history of the area.
Ending on of our first days in Yeshivas Kayitz, the bochurim enjoyed an evening kumzits as the sun was setting, culminating in joyous singing and dancing before heading to bed to get a good nights sleep before tomorrow's adventures..
Who would’ve thought that the summer would ever come to an end. Our last stop before the airport was Kfar Chabad, for the fully catered, sate of the art banquet, one last chance to reminisce our last 6 amazing weeks. The banquet schedule included speeches from our dear director, head counselor, Zalman Deitch representing the bochrim, awards for the best students, sports MVP and best sportsmanship award, championship trophies, mivtzah torah awards and staff gifts. With many hugs and tears, the busses were loaded to the airport, fare welling an absolutely insane summer we had spent together, never to be forgotten!!
