Today we all had an AMAZING time on our trips. Our NCSY-ers had the choice of going paintballing, on a ropes-course, or on a hike. Following the paintball and the ropes-course, we had a delicious Bar-Be-Que, with the camp’s new grill.

Yesterday at Hershey Park was one of the best experiences I’ve had. All the rides were just incredible w the high speeds, and insane drops. My favorite part of it all though was how I got to be w all my friends and have fun together. I think without out them this trip wouldn’t have been the same. When we all went together on Skyrush we all were screaming but it was very fun. After a while at the park the whole camp meet up and we all prayed and ate together. When we finished we went back in the park for 3 more hours. Then when we were finished they called us in and we went on the bus and back to camp.This was one of the most fun day of my summer and my life. This has been definitely the Best. Summer. Ever.

Camp so far has been awesome! For example, we went on the best trip in the world! We went to laser tag and it was insane. We played disc golf, had a fun game of laser tag, and also arcade, and then we went to an insane indoor sport facility. There was basketball, ultimate, soccer and a lot of fun! On Wednesday, we were supposed to go to the Hagerstown Suns baseball game, but unfortunately it got rained out. But then, the next Rabbi Green bounced back, and we all went to Dave and Busters. It was insane, everybody having fun playing games and winning prizes. I won a big bulldog and there was more: right after that we went to a trampoline house. It was so much fun; we had campers vs counselors dodgeball, of course the campers won. We had America Ninja Warrior course and then we had an in insane mishmar with awesome learning and I had a really good learning partner (Ilan Steinmetz). Then there were insane mishmar prizes. There was a speaker, there was NCSY swag, a skateboard, and Bean BoozledTM. I won some swag and a basketball net hat, and then we had a giant BBQ.

Then came Friday. We had the usual morning of davening, learning, getting ready for the rap off, playing sports, and going to Walmart, and then came Shabbos. We started it off with a beautiful kabbalat Shabbat with awesome dancing, and then moved on to maariv, and after we had a really nice meal with beautiful singing, and a new Friday night game, we went to a rabbi or somebody else’s house for an oneg. I went to Rabbi Cooper. It was nice, fun and full of laughter. Then came Shabbos morning. We had a really nice shacharis followed by Elliot Tanzman’s beautiful musaf, and a really fun meal with pizza man, bumble bee tuna, and of course Robby’s rants, and then at 5 o’clock, we had Rita’s Ices followed by some really nice shiurim and super seder. Then came mincha and then came my personal favorite part of Shabbos: the ebbing. We all sat outside with beautiful singing and great dvar torahs capped off by a beautiful speech and lesson by Rabbi Green and maariv.

Then came Saturday night we had an insane rap off with so many awesome raps and then we had a lot of dancing and to cap it off we had pizza, ice cream and French fries. Thank you all the staff for an awesome party!

And of course, how can we talk about camp without talking about the sports (so much fun), so many good games, and good plays. I love Rabbi Fried’s Plays of the Week on Shabbos right after davening even though he is not only inaccurate with the plays but also with the kids’ names.
I hope everyone is having as good of a summer like me!

BEN-

Yo, there’s 7 ideas of tefillin that we got to learn just chillin

We put on tefillin to remember the miracle

To connect us to the spiritual

Serving accepting Hashem and his laws, desires, temptation are some of our flaws

So, we have to dedicate ourselves to Hashem’s cause

CHORUS-

The tefillin we wear it’s a shame some don’t care

Proudly we will become aware of the mitzvot we gain without any pain

Why would we throw it away

JESSE-

To strengthen the weak to remember and sustain, tefillin is a sign of love from which we gain

Tefillin is our crown of royalty we are the proud chosen people, a minority

Tefillin we bind to keep Hashem in our mind, so we are free of sin and avoid din

 

 

CHORUS-

The tefillin we wear it’s a shame some don’t care

Proudly we will become aware of the mitzvot we gain without any pain

Why would we throw it away

 

 

BERNIE-

We are Hashem’s team we are his chosen nation, we wear his tefillin as identification

Impurity to purity tefillin has always been our security

 

 

EVERYONE-

The Jews are on a rise now rabbi Weiner hand over our prize

 

Wake up in the morning feeling all the way down

Feeling like my soul is mamish on the ground

Every day tryin’a have my path found 

Screaming out loud but I can’t make a sound

 

 

Outta nowhere comes this crazy advisor

All he wants to do is bring me up higher

Tryin’a show me that I can wear my crown 

I know it’s a challenge but I can’t back down 

 

 

Strengthening my faith day by day 

I know that HaShem is protecting the way 

Building love every time I pray 

For once in my life I know it’ll be ok 

 

 

והיה לך אות על ידך 

ולזיכרון בין עיניך

 

For 2000 years we’ve been dying to say 

That we can wrap every day

Dedication, identification, purification 

Through these ways I will find my foundation
