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).
What are you most excited for on Michlelet this summer and why?
Adina- I’m excited to see Israel for the first time, learn a lot of Torah in the Holy Land, and to continue being shark.
Deena- I’m most excited to explore Israel, since it’s my first time being here!!!
Tamar- I’m most excited for all of the chested trips! I love doing chessed and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to do so much chessed in Israel.
Esther- This summer, I’m looking forward to learning tons of Torah, making new friends and memories, and experiencing Eretz Yisrael!
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!
