This morning we woke up to rain in Camp Simcha, but it didn’t dampen our spirits in the slightest. In fact, it’s only appropriate seeing as today we’re taking a trip back in time to… Biblical Times! (Now all we need is an ark and some animals to make this time travel legit!) Besides for the life-like props all around the dining hall, including pyramids, a sphinx, and Abraham’s tent, the campers and their counselors dressed up as well. Rivky dressed up as Eisav (Esau) while her counselor Tzivie dressed up as Yaakov (Jacob). Maya dressed up as a lion and her counselor Esti dressed up as a frog – inspired by the ten plagues in Egypt. In our staff we have a Vashti from the Purim story, a Pharaoh from the Jews’ time in Egypt, and even our very own Moses. Next, all kinds of prizes were raffled off, and among the winners are Cara, Sarala, and Or – congratulations guys! There’s a lot more fun planned for today’s biblical themed day…
