This was my first summer in TY, I was in Yachad. When I came to camp I was so scared that I wouldn’t make new friends, but everyone was so nice and welcoming. I still talk to everyone that I met this summer and they are like my second family. Going to Tel Yehudah was amazing because it made me feel like I was a part of something big. For intensive week, I chose to do Social Action in NYC, and getting to help all these people with the people I love the most, it was an amazing experience. Over all a great summer camp that teaches you how to be a better person and implementing Jewish values that you can apply to your everyday life, and i can’t wait to go back for Hadracha 2017! 🙂
