Chinuch at Machane Moshava
Chinuch (education) is central to Moshava's
philosophy and daily activities. Whether in daily sheurim (lessons),
as featured here, or as part of activities, campers learn about the Torah,
Israel, Jewish History, and the Jewish people.
This past Friday and all through Shabbat, campers and staff
listened with fascination as one of the officers in Operation Moses recounted
his 17 night trek with 400 Ethiopian children across the Ethiopian desert
into the Sudan in 1984. A total of 3000 children were brought over in
that clandestine operation, to be followed 7 years later by Operation
Solomon.

Join us for our Yom Iyun. The program will
take place at Camp Moshava on Sunday, August 10 (not on Visiting Day which
is Sunday, August 3rd) from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM. The program will include
sheurim (classes), independent study and opportunities to learn with your
children. You are welcome to participate for the full day or for parts of
the day. There is no charge for this program but we do request that you
make reservations in advance. For more information, click

| In sheurim, campers are learning a variety
of topics based on their age and eidah, ranging from Iyun b'Tanach
(textual study of the Bible), to Halachot (Jewish laws) and their
rationale, to in depth study of T'fillah (Jewish prayer) and Iyunim
B'machshevet Yisrael, topics in Jewish thought.

For the past eight years, Moshava has also featured a one
of a kind Beit Midrash program for post high school (through college) men
and women.
Founded by Rav Yitzchak Twersky, a veteran rebbe at Frisch and now co-led
by Rabbi Reuven Taragin of Yeshivat Hakotel and Rebetzin Shani Taragin
of Midreshet Lindenbaum, the Beit Midrash now boasts 50 young men and
women who help set the tone for camp. Aside from their own learning and
sheurim with rabbanim Rav Tabory of Yeshivat Har Etzion, Rav Twersky,
Rav Taragin, and Rebbetzin Shani Taragin, Beit Midrash participants teach
campers in groups and learn with them one-on-one and they join with campers
in some activities. They serve as young role models in and beyond the
Beit Midrash.
“It is incredibly exciting to reflect on the growth of
the Beit Midrash from a corner of the 'old Moadon' to a cornerstone of
Moshava!”
Rabbi Twersky
“The Beit Midrash program provides intensive
learning opportunities for its participants and the entire camp, while
helping talented educators impact on younger campers.”
Rabbi Taragin
