Liran Weizman grew up in Hong Kong, went to Midreshet Tehillah for Seminary and now currently resides in Manhattan, NY and attends Stern College for Women in New York as a Senior. She is completing a double major in Public Relations and Psychology with a minor in Computer Science. This is her first summer on Michlelet as a Madricha and it has been THE BEST SUMMER EVER with the most amazing campers, staff and teachers!
The girls in this SPECTACULAR, AWESOME CHABURA are Eliana Nachman (Our one and only Shana Gimmel from Woodmere, New York), Moriah Dubowsky (Las Vegas, Nevada), Sarah Comar (Chicago, Illinois), and Eliana Tanner (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
The topic of this chabura is “Making Plastic Holy” with a direct focus on elevating how we use our phone in a kedusha way. Each chabura was based on a different character trait and then connecting it to how we use our phone and social media from a Torah perspective. For example, when we learned about the midah of Ahavah, we had a discussion if we properly loved someone, would we really text in front of them.
What is one thing you feel you have gained from this summer?
Eli Nachman: “Man plans while G-d laughs. Who knew we would be eating so much shnitzel?”
Moriah: “You can do more in your Yiddishkeit and do more mitzvot. There is no one stopping you or holding you back, except for yourself.”
Sarah: “This summer I gained a great love and appreciation for Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael. Being here at such an intense time really cemented my commitment to the Jewish people.”
Eli Tanner: “I gained the full realization of Gam Zu Ltova and that even though we did not even up where we thought we would be, we ended up where Hashem knew we needed to be. And I personally gained so much from this summer that it makes sense to me why we needed to first go up to North to Chispin and do everything different then was originally planned.”
