{NETZER'S AMAZING SUMMER CAMP} 137 amazing and enthusiastic chanichim (participants) took part in this summer Netzer Sydney’s summer camps season. This was one of Netzer’s biggest and most exciting summer seasons in memory! I think the best way to try and explain Netzer camp is to share some stories from camp so I’m going to share some of my personal highlights from camp. I would never forget that moment I was little 8 year old girl, clinging onto my parents for dear life as we arrived at shul on a beautiful summer morning. I remember looking around at all of the giant people walking around in matching green tops and thinking “get me out of here!”. I was so nervous and all I could do was stare at the people walking around me, clinging onto my pillow. Then my parents told me “get on the bus and we’ll see you in a few days”, it happened SO FAST and in a minute I was on my way to my first Netzer camp with a bunch of children I did not know. The moment we arrived at the campsite, suddenly everything changed. I suddenly stopped being nervous and started making friends with the people in my group! I was pushed to my limits and provided with so many opportunities to make friends and challenge myself! It was the start of something truly amazing. I have now been on 22 camps and counting... Now, as a 20 year old madricha (leader) I am so thankful for my parents for forcing me to get on that bus. Everything I know about myself now, I owe to the wonderful world of Netzer. Every single camp you learn more and more about Judaism, our community andyourself. All my happiest childhood memories have been made at Netzer peulot (programs), meal times on camps, talent shows on camps and of course- the wonderful Shabbat services I got to lead on camps …. One of the things that are highly important for us on our camps is to have our chanichim engage with the synagogue’s leadership: We are thankful for the continued support of our local community, Synagogues and Jewish organizations. Over the course of Summer and Junior camps we were joined by Rabbi Rafi Kaiserbluth and Reverend Sam Zwarenstein from Emanuel Synagogue. They ran incredible educational activities for our chanichim and we thank them as continued supports and educational role models for our movement. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Synagogues through joint activities and events throughout the year, in order to continue providing amazing Jewish education and experiences for young people in our community. This year we started a new tradition that included a few parents coming up on camp to help us make Shabbat dinner -we were also joined by Kim Skurnik, Louise Thurgood Phillips, Inbal Luft, Nicki Stiassny, Symone Miller, and Naomi Levi - mothers of Netzer chanichim who came to camp to cook the Erev Shabbat dinner for 140 people (!) I am happy to report that Netzer Sydney, and Netzer Australia, continue to move from strength to strength. We are incredibly thankful for the ongoing support of our wider Jewish community, and look forward to deepening these relationships, providing ongoing Jewish experiences, and contributing to our community.
