Ziva Bibbins is from Cleveland, Ohio. She attended Midreshet Moriah for a year and is currently in Stern College. This is Ziva’s first summer on Michlelet and she is having an amazing time!
The Rebbetzins in Ziva’s chaburah are:
Chaviva Salzberg (SKA, Far Rockaway, NY), Tali Margolese (TDS, Seattle, WA) and Avigayil Rosenwasser (Hanna Sacks, Chicago, IL).
Ziva’s chaburah is called, “What Do You and Hollywood Have In Common?” Based off the Sefer Orchos Tzadikim, Ziva took different middos to analyze and characters that we see on screen. For every middah we learn we see how to act in both the positive aspect of the middah and the negative aspect of the middah. We then pair the middah to a Disney Character and we try to find practical and beneficial ways to implement the positive aspects of the middah into our lives.
If you could give one piece of advice to a future Michlelet girl, what would it be?
Chaviva: “To really take things slow and not to overwhelm yourself but to truly seize the opportunities given to you and achieve that by keeping things consistent!”
Tali: “Walk into camp with an open mind and a set of goals. You will gain so much more if you come in with low expectations and be pleasantly surprised, because that’s what michlelet is- full of surprises.”
Avigayil: “The advice that I would give to a future michlelet girl is to write down some of your goals that you want to fulfill for yourself. Later on at the end of the summer you can look back at these goals and see how much you grew. You will feel more accomplished and know that you spent you summer productively and successfully. Prepare to be inspired because michlelet is a life changing summer program that you definitely will not regret going to!”
