Weekly Updates – December 29, 2022

This week was all about closures and last goodbyes. Our students finished their internships and volunteering, and were busy packing and getting ready for their next adventures. Our Jerusalem community held its own Oscar night, where students got prizes for being the best at something.
Florentin community had a final, emotional ceremony, which also included an Oscar night, and a karaoke activity!

Tal, one of our Florentin madrichot, organized a very special activity with her students. Her students got together and read letters they had written to themselves at the beginning of the semester. The letters had wishes and aspirations for the semester. Later, they received letters from Tal and from their parents. Lastly, each one wrote something to a group member, about how he or she inspired them, followed by a special activity for Hanukkah. Tal made each student a branded, unique bag to remind them of the experiences they went through together.

Remember our Mensches from the last overnight? So, we proudly announce three new Mensches from Florentin community! Alexa Macier, Ryan Belzycki, and Tamar Franbuch!
