Sara Wiener is from Teaneck, New Jersey and she is so excited to be spending her second summer here on Michlelet- previously as a camper, and now as a madricha. She went to Bruriah High School, then to Michlalah, and currently attends Touro College in Manhattan. After majoring in psychology, her hope is to go on to social work graduate school.
The girls in Sara’s Chaburah are Michal Miller (Woodmere, NY), Hadassi Cohen (Houston, TX), Zehava Gros (Kew Gardens Hills,NY), and Maytal Cuperfain (Toronto, Canada).
The topic of the Chaburah is Nature/ “Ma Rabu Maasecha Hashem.” Each day focuses on a different element of nature by first going through the sources of where it comes up in Torah, and then developing a hashkafa of what it represents for us and what we can learn from it. For example, we learned how light/day, represents something that is completely spiritual in the physical world, and we discussed how Bnei Yisrael are the “light unto the nations,” because we are spiritual beings in the physical world.
If you could be anything in nature, what would you be and why?
Michal: “Fire because fire is compared to Torah. Also, fire goes upwards, always striving to be closer to Hashem.”
Hadassi: “Body of water so I could sustain everyone in the world/ all living beings.”
Zehava: “Water because it sustains the rest of G-d’s beautiful creations.”
Maytal: “I would want to be a tree because a tree keeps growing” 🙂
