Dear Michlelet NCSY Parents,

We are off to a phenomenal start here at Michlelet NCSY.

Yesterday morning, we had Orientation where the girls got to learn all about and look forward to all the exciting things happening this summer, where they will G-d willing experience a summer filled with the balance of it all. I told the girls how in awe I am of each and every one of them for choosing a summer program where they will not only not compromise on any components of fun, but also one where they will experience meaning and fulfillment.  The girls were eager as they looked at the calendar and the daily schedule, as they will experience the excitement of learning Torah in Eretz Yisrael,  doing chessed in Eretz Yisrael, touring this beautiful land and having tons of fun. Of course, it always takes time to adjust, but we have had a really great first few days.

They then got to connect with our holy city of Jerusalem with a tour of Ir David, walking through Chizkiyahu’s water tunnels, cheering and splashing as they walked through in the dark and then having the absolute privilege of davening at the Kotel, the place where all our tefilos go to from all over the world, on their first full day in Eretz Yisrael.

We ended the day with a delicious Holy Bagel dinner at the Tayelet Haas Promenade, with its breathtaking view, where you are literally overlooking all of Yerushalayim, the place where Avrohom and Yitzchok were as they looked up and saw the place where the akaida would take place. It was truly an amazing first full day!

This morning, we had the privilege of hearing Rabbi Avi Schneider speak to us about the tremendous opportunity it is for them to spend a summer here in Eretz Yisrael. We then got to experience being part of the Erev Shabbos hustle and bustle in Meah Shearim with a fun picture scavenger hunt.

We are looking forward to getting to know each other and spending Shabbos together on Michlelet. There is really nothing like it!

I am so thrilled to spend the summer with your daughters. Please feel free to be in touch with any questions or feedback you may have!

Have a wonderful Shabbos!
