Post a new idea, answer a question from the Reader Survey, or start a new thread. It is you, the contributors, that have made this year the success that it was. I'm writing in response to the search for some Israel at 50 ideas. At Camp Yavneh in NH this summer, we created a really fun and active pe'ulah that all the kids really got into, the 8 year olds as well as the 15 year olds. The pe'ulah is made up of many stations.
Small groups work together to create their own Israeli flag using many symbols or just one.
The person who ran this station gave the kids a background that they are the Betsy Ross'es of Israel and set the scene. These flags should then be presented to the whole group and later laminated and hung up. Using all the children in the group, use your bodies to duplicate the shape of Israel in 1948. We took a pictures of this with a Polaroid camera and hung them up in the Hadar Ochel. Get water to Be'er Sheva.
