Rena Mandel is from Passaic NJ, attended Bruriah high school followed by a year and a half in Michlalah. She just recently graduated Touro College with a degree in psychology. This is her second summer on Michlelet, but her first summer as a madricha! Her chabura is called “The Path They Paved”. Together the group learns lessons from Pirkei Avos and discuss ways to improve themselves.
The incredible girls in her chabura are: Sarah Gila (SKA), Anna (Naaleh), Aliza (MHS), Reggie (MHS), Ayelet (Hadar), and Sheffah (Bruriah).
Sarah- My favorite part of learning on Michlelet is being able to do it with friends and being able to grow with other girls also looking to grow. Having an amazing Madricha as guidance helps us all be the best that we can be.
Anna- I feel that my eyes are opened to so many new things through the learning on Michlelet and I really enjoy connecting to the girls and madrichot in small groups.
Aliza- Learning the quote: “im ain ani li mi li.. aimatai” and learning that the world doesn’t wait for you and you need to do things for yourself! I also really like the disscussions and the values game we played.
Sheffah- I love how there are so many different styles of learning so you can grow in different areas.
Ayelet- My favorite part of learning so far on Michlelet is the interactive chaburahs where each girl can add in her own ideas and it turns into a discussion.
Reggie- My favorite part of learning on Michlelet is the chaburas. The Madrichot prepare amazing lessons which makes everything so clear and easy to understand and I come out of each chabura having a deeper understanding.
