Mishlachat Reflections

A group of smiling children in yellow shirts and a woman in a blue shirt take a selfie at a zoo, standing in front of an animal enclosure with trees and a sign. It’s a sunny day and everyone looks happy.

Being Mishlachat (Israeli emissaries) at Camp Ramah Boston has been so much fun! Every morning we arrive at camp and welcome the campers with a big smile. We have taught them a lot Hebrew and had fun playing all different games and activities.

Six children and an adult kneel and stand on grass outside under a cloudy sky. The adult holds a drawing and a book. The children are smiling and wearing colorful summer clothes. Trees and an open field are in the background.

A group of young children stands in a line in a gym, facing four adults in blue shirts who are leading an activity. Green tents line the gym wall in the background.

 

Each week, we introduced a different topic to explore in Hebrew. We have seen the campers progress and develop as they acquire a wider vocabulary. They know a lot of animals, colors, shapes, and places b’ivrit (in Hebrew). We have enjoyed learning and playing at camp all summer long!
