Today was Yom Kibbutz Galuyot. Eidah Hey learned about the Aliyah from Baghdad, Operation Ezra and Nechemiah. They heard about how the Iraqi Jews were only able to take one suitcase and had to leave their jewelry behind when they made Aliyah. We read the book “Shoham’s Bangles” by Sarah Sassoon (https://lernerbooks.com/

Campers Currently in Grades 3 or 4 (Completing Grades 3 or 4 in June 2024)
Moshava will be continuing its very successful Kaytana program which will NOW BE A FULL 2 WEEKS and is for campers who will be completing Grades 3 or 4. Our Kaytana program is specially designed as an introductory overnight camp program for children of these ages. Children will become comfortable in the camp environment while learning to deal with the separation issues and the issues of living in a group situation. They will, therefore, be more prepared for the full Moshava experience in the future.
The Moshava Kaytana will still feature all of the unique activities, programs and the special Religious, Zionist atmosphere that makes Moshava unique.
Transportation to and from the NY area is included. We will also provide transportation from the Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Silver Spring areas.
Campers Currently in Grades 3-8 (Completing Grades 3-8 in June 2024)
The main camp consists of five Eidot (divisions). Eidah Hey is for children who have completed 3rd or 4th grade, Eidah Aleph is for children who have completed 5th grade and Eidah Bet is for children who have completed 6th grade. Eidot Gimmel and Daled are for children who have completed 7th and 8th grade respectively.
Each Eidah has its own special flavor and program. All Eidot have daily Sheurim and swim and are involved in the educational theme of the month. In addition, there are sports, arts and crafts, lake activities, music, teva (nature shack), maabada (science lab), dance, nagarut (wood crafting), night activities and much more.
The older Eidot also have high ropes, biking, graffiti, betayavon, nagarut and chuggim. Chuggim are specialty activities chosen by the camper. Chuggim varies from intramural team sports and specialty crafts to drama, beit midrash and zumba.
In addition, each Eidah has its own “Shmutz” or Machaneh Chutz (overnight). Different Eidot have different shmutz locations and the amount of time spent on the shmutz varies from Eidah to Eidah.
At Moshava we try to give every camper the individual attention that he or she deserves. Every bunk has three counselors and each Eidah has a male and female Rosh Eidah (division head), a camp parent and a Sgan Rosh Moshava who is responsible for the Eidah.
