FIRST DAY!

The second session has officially begun! While waiting for the campers to arrive we enjoyed a grand soccer game. We then made our way to the shul for the orientation speech by the head counselors, where the rules were given over and the bunks were split! We unpacked, and then made our way back to the shul for minchah! We then enjoyed supper, davened maariv, and got ready for bed.
