This week's Torah portion, Ki Tavo, opens with a moment of reflection and gratitude. As the Israelites prepared to enter a new chapter, they were encouraged to look back on their journey and recognize all they had experienced along the way. That message feels totally...

Summer 2026 was filled with joy, friendship, learning, growth, and connection. I am thankful to everyone who made this summer so incredible: Parents - thank you for trusting us with your children, for cheering them on from home, and for partnering with us in creating...

We first met as Mishlachat members (Israeli staff) in 2018. Hadas was a first-time counselor, Guy was a second-year, and Ariel was a third-year. None of us could have imagined that one summer would turn into friendships that would last for years. Eight years later, we...
