Shalom all,
How wet was yesterday???? As one of the first groups walking down the Parkway during the Israel parade we were lucky to 'just' miss the rain and had a great time with our amazing float. If you have photos – please put them on our facebook group "camp Galil"! also – if anyone knows where did 150 green t-shirts go – let us know… (is it possible we gave them all away? Are there really 150 proud Galilnik's out there wearing our celebratory Israel 60 T-shirt? This is a collector's item, clearly…)
This was a great culmination for a great seminar and a great year. If you left some things on the JCC bus or in the Festival – please e-mail shaliach@galil.org .
And now to the Todot (thank you's):
We want to personally thank one fantastic individual – Alan Greenberg, one of our Camp Committee chairs, who took the time to plan and execute our float and made magic happen. Alan – we will make a special exception for you and let you sign up for Amelim next year, if you want. For real.
Todah Raba to the unbelievable Tzevet Eizor who's been planning and calling and caring and running peulot, and sometimes coming all the way from New-York or just from Yardley to get the Eizor going – your passion and commitment is what makes the Eizor.
Todah Raba to the awesome Ma'apilim (college students) who came from out of town and all across the country to help us run our seminars and activities. These are mainly Galil alums who worked or will work again this summer as Tzevet Machaneh, and we are very happy for every opportunity to see more of them.
Todah Raba to the Galil Camp committee and staff – particularly Sharon and Abbey – for their endless support and interest.
And finally – Todah Raba to all of YOU who came and shared with us this wonderful passed year. It has been a pleasure meeting you and we truly hope to see you again this summer at Galil or next year at our Fall seminar.
This is also the time to say L'Hitraot to two special groups of people:
First – our chanichim (campers) who will go this summer to Israel on MBI for over five weeks of fun, excitement and some good-old-fashioned-labor-Zionist-experience. We look forward to welcoming you back with much enthusiasm and interest as you take your first steps in becoming movement leaders!
And second – to our Madatz who are now finishing high-school and will spend the next year in Israel, through our Workshop program, getting to know Israeli society up-close and forming their Kvutza and Israel connection. We know that this will be a formative experience, and hope to hear from you as you go through it and all through next summer when you'll join our Tzevet Machaneh
We are very proud of you all and will miss you very much.
So, again, Todah Raba to everyone for making this year to what it was, and we hope to see again soon!
Todah U'lehitraot,
Makirut Eizor Galil
Adam, Ben, Alon, Shira & Adi
