NCSY B'YISRAEL NEWS
For the past 7 weeks, you've seen this camp logo on the NCSY page or in its column. 

Parents and their children have been calling with questions, filling out forms, and registering for the camps — the girls' camp in Keshet on the Golan, and the boys' camp in Shadmot Mechola in the Jordan Valley.

For the second year in a row, the response has been terrific. Over 140 youngsters will be enjoying NCSY camp beginning in a couple of days.

We wish each and every one of them a wonderful time, filled with enjoyable experiences, good friends, and precious words of Torah and acts of Chesed.

Have a great summer•We really mean it this time!
Our last formal event for the year took place this past Tuesday at the Jerusalem Zoo. NESTOers met for an afternoon of frolicking amongst the animals and birds. Before leaving the zoo, they enjoyed a picnic meal together, prepared by our own bat sherut Ilana.

The evening before, the old and new board met with our new bat sherut, Naomi Skorecki. Over pizza we all had a chance to share with her our views of NESTO and programs that we would like to plan for the coming year.

Along with the transition from Ilana to Naomi as bat sherut, NESTO is pleased to announce the placement of Josh Spodeck as the incoming Assistant Director for NESTO. Josh comes to us with a tremendous amount of youth work behind him, and you will be able to read more about Josh and Naomi when we return to the pages of Torah Tidbits at the end of the summer.

We wish this year’s assistant director Daniel Stambler and his wife Batya a fantastic time on their three month trip to India. Daniel will return from India three days before he begins his doctoral work in religion and philosophy at Tel Aviv University. We enjoyed our five months with you and appreciate everything you did for NESTO.

If you know of students who will be entering the eighth grade next year, please have them contact our office, as we will begin programming for eighth graders in the coming year. As I wrote last week, if kids let us know when they are around for the summer, I would be happy to plan some day or evening programs for us to get together.

Wishing you all a productive and fun-filled summer, Rabbi Avi
