Neti Linzer is from Bergenfield New Jersey. After going to Maayanot for high school, She spent a year learning at Migdal Oz, and is now studying at Princeton University.
Her chaburah is about emotions; the goal being to better understand specific emotions and the broader role they play in avodas HaShem. Each chaburah focuses on a particular emotion- happiness, loneliness, fear, confusion, etc.- and looks at how it’s manifested in Tanach, codified in Halacha, and viewed by Chazal. The girls also continue to delve into more meta questions: how Halacha can dictate our emotions, whether we really have control over what we feel, and the extent to which we can be held accountable for how we feel.
The fabulous girls in Neti’s homeroom are: Ayelet, Michal, Miri, Anni and Leora.
What was your favorite tiyul on Michlelet so far?
Miri: My favorite Tiyul on Michlelet so far has been our Shabbos in Tzefat. On Shabbos day, there was a tour where we got to walk around Tzefat and see all the beautiful sights. One place we went to on the tour was a sound cave where we had a powerful
Kumzitz. Tzefat was a great bonding experience with everyone on Michlelet.
Anni: My favorite tiyulim on michlelet were the water activities we did when we went to Tzfat! I really enjoyed raft building and the water hike we went on! In raft building we all learned to work together as teams and the water hike was so much fun!
Leora: My favorite Tiyul was when we went to Ein Gedi. When we got there our tour guide read the Pesukim from Tanach that mention Ein Gedi, it was so cool to be standing in the same place that Dovid Hamelech once was. The waterfalls and views were so beautiful and really allowed me to take in Israel’s beauty. Overall it was a great trip and so much fun to hike with my friends!
Michal: My favorite tiyul was definitely water sports in tiveria. We got to go banana boating and also to lie on a raft being pulled by a motor boat. Of course we did fall off a few times but that only added to the excitement! Afterwards we got to hang out in the kineret, had a Pizza Hut lunch, and then daven mincha at the Rambam’s kever. It was the perfect day!!
Ayelet: My favorite tiyul was the shana bet tiyul we did in tiveria. We got to go ATVing, and not only did we enjoy each other’s company, and thrill of the ATV ride, but there were also the most breathtaking views. I couldn’t stop watching the beautiful expanse of mountains, and couldn’t help feeling מה רבו מעשיך ה. It was an experience that I won’t forget.
