Brina Bressler is from Toronto, Ontario. She went to Tiferes Bais Yaakov for high school, spent a year in Michlalah, and now is in York University.
The girls in Brina’s Chaburah are Goldy Weissman (Cedarhurst, NY), Gabi Froom (Toronto, Ont), and Ayelet Strauss (Staten Island, NY).
Brina’s chabura is on Pirkei Avos. Each day we learn a different mishna and focus on the middos and messages that each one teaches us. The goal is to internalize these ideas and apply it to our everyday lives!!!
What did you come to camp without that you are leaving with?
Goldy: “This year on Michlelet, I did not come with as much of a knowledge that HaShem is always controlling EVERYTHING. When I leave Eretz Yisroel after this summer, I will fully understand how even though i may plan something, Hashem’s plan is the ultimate and best of all. As a leader, being that I am Shana bet, I gained the realization of how important positive attitude is. I now know that when I am an older more experienced person, I have the power to change the atmosphere for better or worse depending on my personal attitude because people look up to me and follow my lead.”
Gabi: “Besides gaining a deep relationship with some fun bugs, shnitzel, and New York accents, I really did make a lot of friends and now have a real appreciation of being able to visit Eretz Yisroel safely BH.”
Ayelet: “I came to camp without friends from places out of New York, and I’m leaving with friends from Canada to Israel.”
