LJY-Netzer Machaneh Shamayim

By Joe Shotton Movement Worker, LJY-Netzer

LJY-NETZER’s Machaneh Shamayim spring camp was a huge success!

It was the usual mix of kef (fun), chinuch (informal education), mamaadim (prayer) and friendship, in beautiful surroundings. We ran chuggim (projects) for our kids. In vegan baking they made cupcakes and in drama they crafted an award winning ‘Last Night Show’.

In sports, they tried their hand at welly tossing, while engineering led to a crazy Rube Goldberg machine and lava lamps. With half of this year’s camp falling during Pesach, we saw off the festival with a last night Seder.

We started with a dramatic reenactment of the Passover story, followed by a meal together and some prayers.

LJY Netzer’s Theme of the Year (TOTY) is Solidarity and we told the Passover story through that lens.

We made links to modern slavery and talked about how non-Jewish midwives saved baby Moses.

Now we set our sights on Machaneh Kadimah, our upcoming summer camp. Join us there for all sorts of classic LJY activities. Find out more and book your place on our website www.ljy-netzer.org

We can’t wait to see you soon!
