Flying High at CMY Reunion
W
hat’s the very best way to begin a new week? Well, for hundreds of Machane Yisrael campers it was to attend an exciting Melaveh Malka Reunion! Though the night was cold and wet, there was a lot of warmth awaiting them as they met with counselors, friends and staff whom they hadn’t seen since summer ‘17. There was plenty of time for reminiscing with counselors, rebbeim and camp friends about all the unforgettable programs and learning of the past summer, while enjoying the pizza and soda provided for refreshments. Attendees were treated to a brand-new, super-exciting camp
video which brought back memories of the great sports, swimming, trips, learning and much more of the summer. Needless to say, the video also jogged the memories of all the zany antics of Rabbi Haber and Rabbi Zezy Fuld. Immediately after the video there was a grand raffle for fantastic prizes such as an electric scooter, air hockey table, foosball table and much more. But all the attendees were winners with everyone going home with a copy of the new camp video and a super-cool color-changing cup. As promised, everyone who signs up for the coming season before January 14th will receive our amazing new
swag bags with an awesome water bottle, a warm beanie hat, a brand new football, and much more. B”H many attendees at the Melaveh Mal-
ka went home with these gifts, too. Just as it seemed as if the evening were over, Rabbi Fuld announced that there was a surprise still in store...the Chicago Sky Squad, a high-flying, death-defying dunk team. What a thrill to watch them dunk over the campers, perform out-of-this-world trick shots, and literally fly over the basket. Everyone watched open-mouthed. The show did not disappoint and neither did this amazing night. If you would like to learn more about Camp Machaneh Yisrael, our new division called Camp MAXX, or our amazing Dynanite program please call 516-962-3030 or email the camp at cmysummer@gmail.com.
Parent/Child Day of Learning @ YHT
A
n incredible kiddush Hashem was made at Yeshiva Har Torah on Monday, December 25 as parents of the 7th and 8th grade stu-
dents took their day off from work to learn Torah with their children in a very special Yom Iyun. A chorus of voices was heard in
the Beit Midrash as parents and children studied source sheets together in preparation for Rabbi Menchel’s shiur. Rabbi Menchel discussed themes about
the end of Sefer Bereshit and shared words of inspiration about the power of speaking the truth and make sure to pass that middah on to our children.
