Dear Parents: Chasdei Hashem, NCSY Derech experienced another great week in Eretz Yisrael filled with Torah, touring, education, and recreation. Here is our "week in review." On Sunday, our group reunited in Yeshivat Shaalvim after having experienced the free weekend. In Shaalvim, we had a small tour of the community before hearing from Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Michael Yammer. After the Yeshiva, NCSY Derech went on to visit the tank museum in Latrun, and also enjoyed a game of "water-tag" to end the day. Monday included the hike of "Tel Azeika," the location of the battle between Dovid and Golyat. We then went on to Yeshivat Lev HaTorah, where we had the privilege to hear from Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Boaz Mori. After the Yeshiva, NCSY Derech enjoyed a pool party in Beit Shemesh, and then the BIG Fashion Mall with some bowling! On Tuesday, we got to tour the city of Caesarea and repel down the Carmel Mountains on our way to Chaifa, which was simply beautiful. We enjoyed the views of the Mediterranean Sea as we toured the area. Our experiences between Wednesday and Thursday included a blend of education and recreation. We learned about those brave heroes who built this country, and we also enjoyed some nice rock climbing and malls! Last night, we ended a greet week of learning with an unforgettable mishmar with cholent, kugel, and a kumsitz. Thank you to the numerous sponsors. Your partnership means the world to us. In conclusion, I simply want to thank you for trusting NCSY Summer with you precious children. Please text me if you need anything at all. I am so happy to help. We look forward to spending a safe and uplifting Shabbos in Yerushalayim with NCSY Kollel this Shabbos! We will update you further if necessary. Have a Restful Shabbos!! Rav Yoni
