• BermaNoar
  We are pleased to announce the dates for this year’s Bermanoar summer camp. The camp is intended for both girls and boys who will be entering 7th grade next year and up. If there will be enough kids registering we will split the group into younger and older kids. The camp will take place from the 24th of July to the 11th of August. The kids will be meeting 3 times a week. There is a possibility of enrolling for only part of the camp but this has to be done in coordination with Ilana Friedlander. Rav Uzi Amar will be heading the camp as he has done in previous years. Please register ASAP.
  For the full schedule, questions and registration please contact Ilana Friedlander at 08-9365313, 057-5706592 or at stevenf@netvision.net.il

• I am a 17 year old olah chadashah, post-high-school, and eager to gain business experience. I am willing to do almost any type of part-time work this summer, and among other possibilities, I could be available to help kids/adults improve their English skills and/or learn different subjects in English. I also can type at a speed of about 100 WPM. I currently have experience working as a volunteer for a therapeutic riding program for kids and I have a part-time internship for internet marketing.
