For those of you who have been following the blog this week, GREAT NEWS from Kallah:

After several days of investigating, interrogating, and never losing hope, TEDDY BABY HAS BEEN RESCUED. On Wednesday night the campers were all conscripted into the Teddy Baby Bureau of Investigation (the TBBI) and asked to interview suspects, post flyers, and collect clues. Their hard work paid off and the suspects who knew Teddy Baby’s whereabouts were finally brought in for questioning last night. It turns out that they took Teddy Baby to the health center after finding him outside, on the ground, on Tuesday morning.  When the investigation to find Teddy Baby began, they panicked thinking that they’d be blamed for taking him. Your campers can tell you more, but the suspects (who were actually heroes) were telling the truth, and Teddy was in bed in the health center, a little bruised and bandaged up, but ready to rejoin the eidah.

We are thankful to have him back helping to lead the eidah for Shabbat and our final couple of days together in Kallah Bet, which will include Shuk Shabbat for breakfast … an Israeli simulation of buying food in the marketplace, FacePaint Friday, making Havdallah spice bags, writing reflective post cards to ourselves, and enjoying our Kallah talent show … and of course a wonderful OSRUI Shabbat!

Shabbat Shalom from Kallah!
