Davina Sagoskin, from Yardley, Pennsylvania, is currently in Stern College majoring in Jewish Education. Davina is having an awesome summer on Michlelet NCSY and loves learning with and from her campers.
The NCSYers in Davina’s chabura are Aliza Hersch (Woodmere, NY), Chaya Sarah Shippel (New York, NY), Tamar Rosenfeld (Lawrence, NY), and Goldy Weissman (Cedarhurst, NY).
Davina’s chabura focuses on how the Torah defines true simcha and how we can apply that to different aspects of our lives and become happier people.
We defined true happiness as a response one feels when they know they are doing the right thing and are connected to Hashem.
We explored different areas where we can find true happiness in our day to day lives such as the joy through achievement, appreciation, trusting G-d, tefilla, and resistance just to name a few!
Tamar: “Our chabura is learning about simcha and the environment on Michlelet where we learn Torah every day with such incredible people is truly the best place to achieve that goal.”
Aliza: “It’s not just about spending 45 minutes in chabura, but learning about simcha has made me want to apply all that I learned to my everyday life and share it with others.”
Chaya Sarah: “Learning about happiness throughout the summer has taught me to incorporate these ideas and apply them to everyday life. Michlelet has taught me to be happy and excited about learning whether in a chabura or in a teacher class.”
Goldy: “You’re never fully dressed without a smile. Michlelet has helped me to become a truly happy person.”
