Jamie Steinmetz, from West Hempstead, NY, is going to be a Junior in Stern College for Women where she is studying speech therapy. This is her first time on Michlelet and she’s so excited to have the most incredible summer ever!
The NCSYers in Jamie’s chabura are: Jaclyn Wernick (Woodmere, NY), Talia Bulka (Woodmere, NY), Deborah Siegel (Teaneck, NJ), and Tzipora Weinberger (Philadelphia, PA).
In Jamie’s chabura, we take meaningful secular songs and connect them to Torah concepts, such as living al kiddush Hashem, sanctifying the mundane, chesed, and more, through textual sources and discussions.
The main goal of the chabura is not only to have a greater knowledge of these concepts but to find practical ways to apply them to our lives and to view everything in this world as an opportunity for sanctification.

Talia: “Madricha scavenger hunt in the mall!”
Jaclyn: “Michlelet vs. GIVE basketball game!”
