By Becca Levy, Rosh Eidah of Tiferet
After three weeks of rehearsing, Tiferet presented our Star Spangled Mesibah to all of camp last night! Mesibah is a 4th of July (well 5th this year!) Talent Show for the whole camp presented by Tiferet. Each year has a top-secret theme where the Tiferet chanichim (campers) present a skit, songs, and dances.
The theme of this year’s skit in between talent acts was after the Disney movie, Frozen, with the tagline “OSRUI is an Open Door.” All of our chanichim performed in last’s night’s Mesibah! A number of them were involved in the skit, many were in small ensembles for our musical numbers, and a few were even in a Digital Arts Studio produced video that kicked off and ended the whole evening! All the chanichim were also singing and dancing in the opening and closing numbers of the show! This year, the script this year was written by our Program Coordinator, Ben, directed by Evan, a Tiferet madrich (counselor), and produced by Claire, a Tiferet madricha (counselor). With their hard work and the help of all of the Tiferet madrichim (counselors) and moomchim (specialists) the chanichim were able to put on a fantastic show! Everyone performed with incredible energy and passion and the rest of camp watched in delight!
It was an exciting night for Tiferet! All of our hard work paid off in an incredible performance, and we couldn’t be more proud of all the energy, effort, and dedication the chanichim put into this year’s Medibah! As a celebration of our work, today we had a lunch time pool-party where we swam, went on the slides, and got to relax and eat lunch pool-side after all the hard work we did in the last week!
With Mesibah behind us, Tiferet transitons into our last week at camp. We have lot of special events planned for the chanichim such as Artist’s Night, Erev Tzrif (Cabin Night), and even a field trip! The chanichim also have the final Studio Culmination to look forward to next Friday!
These last three weeks in Tiferet Aleph have been amazing, and I can’t wait to watch the chanichim continue to grow, learn, create, and of course, have fun! While it’s sad to think we only have a week left together, I am sure each and every chanich will come home filled with stories, new growth, and excitement!
