Watching the Chanichim Grow
There is something magical about camp. The youngest chanichim have the opportunity to grow and learn in so many ways.
Deep Reflections
Having t’fillah every day leads to deep reflections, shaping how chanichim and madrichim see their Judaism.
Camera Rolling….. ACTION!!
Kallah and Tzofim chanichim are becoming filmmakers in Digital Media Chug.
Yom Avodah and More!!
By Micah Brandhandler, Chalutzim Rosh Eidah Chalutzim had a wonderful first week at camp. Every day at breakfast we ask the chanichim “Who wants to speak only Hebrew today?” The first day no one raised their hands, but today almost half of Chalutzim is speaking rak...
Shabbat – The End of a Great Week
In addition to all their other fun activities, Kallah campers spent last week preparing for Shabbat. And their first Shabbat at OSRUI was awesome.
Developing our Artisitc Talents
Tiferet has been extremely busy this week, whether it has been in studio, at the pool or in limud. The kids are having a blast and are developing their artistic talents.
Happenings at the Pool!!
The pool is a happening place at OSRUI. Chanichim are taking swim lessons and are playing all kinds of water games in the breicha (pool).
Shabbat Shalom from OSRUI
It’s been a great first week at OSRUI and campers are ready for their first OSRUI Shabbat of the summer.
What an Incredible Week in Moshavah!!
Moshavah has had an amazing first few days. We have been all over camp and are now getting ready for our first tiyul (trip)!
Happy Days in Kallah!
It’s been a great couple of days in Kallah, as campers got to know each other and their counselors, learned about all the chugim (special activities) they will get to participate in, learned about Jewish traditions and their importance in our community and just had a great time.
Tzofim is Blossoming!
Tzofim campers have learned all about Tzofim, their gan, refet, and va’adot. They are beginning their study of Hakavod Hamakom (respecting space) and how we make the places we use at camp holy.
O What a Beautiful Day!!
Being on faculty in Tiferet offers Rabbi Andrea Cosnowsky the opportunity to slow down long enough to appreciate nature through the eyes of a young child.
What a month ahead in Chalutzim!!!
Yom Avodah and Festikayitz are two special events planned for the coming weeks in Chalutzim.
The Magic of Opening Day
