Chaburah Spotlight: Tziporah Zwickler
Tziporah Zwicker is from West Orange, NJ and is currently studying biology at Stern College. She went to Bruriah for high school and then spent a year learning at Michlalah for seminary. Tziporah went on Michlelet as a camper and is super excited to be back this summer as a madricha! Tziporah’s Chaburah is called “Touched by a Niggun: exploring our souls through music.” Each Chaburas is started off by listening to a different Jewish song with mainly English lyrics. The group then learns and discusses the different Torah messages and themes in the song. Some examples of the different songs they learn are Neshomele and Joe DiMaggio’s card by Abie Rotenberg, Vihaarev Na by Baruch Levine, The Artist by Ari Goldwag, A Did by Benny Friedman, and Forever One by Avraham Fried. The amazing girls in Tziporah’s Chaburas are Deena (Tiferes), Tamar (Manhattan High School), Esther (Maayanot), Adina (Ida Crown), and Lauren (SKA).

Deena- I’m most excited to explore Israel, since it’s my first time being here!!!

Lauren- Given the fact that is is my first time in Israel, I’m most excited to learn and grow in the land of Israel. Even though it’s been less than a week, we’ve done so much and I can’t wait for the best summer yet!

First Shabbos on Michlelet
We had an incredible and inspiring first Shabbos! We started off with an amazing tisch on Friday night featuring our “Rebbe and Rebbetzin”. Shabbos day we had a kiddish and learned about the importance of time. We ended Shabbos with a beautiful kumzits outside watching the sunset. This first Shabbos bonded all of us together and gave us many opportunities to grow!
