New Mikvah & Step By Step Canteen Deposits

In honor of our brand new Mikvah – Rabbi Pesach Sperlin – graced us with his presence. Rabbi Sperlin was instrumental in overseeing the Kashrus of our beautiful mikveh. Section C Bochurim and the staff were each treated to a meaningful talk with Rabbi sperlin – sharing details and halachos regarding the Mikvah. It was hard to pull the staff away – as many lingered on – asking many questions that arose.

Section C Bochurim will be honored with the opportunity to use the new Mikvah before Shabbos (otherwise reserved for staff- while campers use the indoor heated pool).

Many bunks were rewarded with an invigorating flight across our in-house zip- line, as well as breakfast runaways- early this morning!
