Batya Schultz is from Los Angeles, CA. She went to Yeshiva University of Los Angeles (YULA), then spent a year learning at Michlalah, and currently attends Stern College, where she is majoring in Biology. Batya went on Michlelet as a camper and had such an incredible experience that she decided to come back as a madricha!
The amazing girls in Batya’s chabura are Sarah Engel (Oakland, CA), Shoshana Garfield (Silver Spring, MD), Nina Miller (Teaneck, NJ), and Orah Wilens (Chicago, IL).
Batya’s chabura, entitled “Maaseh Avos Siman Lebanim,” focuses on different personalities found in Tanach. In each chabura, we learn about particular people in Tanach, their relationship with Hashem (Bein Adam L’makom), their relationships with others (Bein Adam L’chaveiro), and their relationship with themselves (Bein Adam Leatzmo). By delving into the lives of these important personalities, we come out of the chabura with many personal and practical lessons. The goal of the chabura is to gain a better appreciation for Tanach and to integrate the middot of these personalities into our daily lives.
If you could be any room in Chispin, which room would you be and why?
Sarah: “I would like to be the hallways because during free time if you walk around, you will see people talking, laughing, bonding and learning. There is so much growth that occurs in this casual setting, which is an example of how Michlelet girls bond and grow wherever we are.”
Shoshana: “I would like to be the lobby! Everyone hangs out there, which creates a unified environment. Plus there’s WiFi!”
Nina: “I would like to be the Golan room because it is spacious and beautiful, which allows us to gather together to learn Torah and gain inspiration from so many incredible speakers.”
Orah: “I would like to be the Gamla room because all the fun announcements, random ordered-in lunches, chessed activities, and homeroom chaburas, happen there. Everything on Michlelet goes down in the Gamla room!!”
