On most nights of the week, Adat Shalom and other edot participate in various peulot erev (night activities). Below is one example of a peulot erev that Adat Shalom had last night, written from different perspectives of each blogger.
"What's the night activity?" We ask our counselors.
"It's a movie premiere," they respond. "Dress nice!" My tent becomes a flurry of "Where is my skirt?"
"Can I borrow your dress?"
"I don't have any makeup!" and
"But I'm not ready yet!" Soon however, everyone was dressed in their Shabbat best, and we all marched down to dinner to look at other camper's outfits in our edah. After dinner, the whole edah walked to the BKR, and sat down on the benches, fully expecting to watch a movie and eat popcorn. Instead, our counselors announced that there would be a move at the end, but now we would be split up into groups, and we went off to learn about Jews in show Business. -By Daniela
Last night, on July 28th, one station was centered around movie scripts and skits. The skits were Winnie the Jew, A Goy Story, How I Met Your Bubbie, and Forest Schlump. My group was assigned to A Goy Story. It was about a bunch of different Jewish toys that were introduced to a new toy named Santa Goy. Santa Goy made it to the wrong toy store. Our skit taught the rest of the group that everyone is equal no matter what. -By Eden
Did you know that Jews are some of the biggest music legends in the world? For instance, Bob Dylan, singer of "Blowin' in the Wind" was born Jewish, converted to Christianity, and is now back to Judiaism today. Also, have you heard of Sammy Davis Jr.? If not, he was a singer and dancer along side Frank Sinatra. Sammy converted to Judiaism! We learned a lot about how jews influeced the music industry. -By Rachel
As two counselors act out a random scene, a roar of laughter sounds throughout the small crowd of Adat Shalomers. In one of the stations, campers got to learn about famous Jews in the comedy world such as John Stuart, Seth Rogan, and Adam Sandler. To learn about stand-up comedy, the jubilant campers played a couple of improv games. In The Jibberish Debate, two participants have a debate where they speak in a different language, and at the same time their partners translate for them. The funny part is the translators get to decide what they are debating about based on the tone of the other camper's voices. Obviously this game was created to amuse those who enjoy a good joke. -By Emily
Based on the four stations of the night, fashion was one of the most instense. Trash bags were used to make outfits for the runway. There were dresses, hats, suits, bracelets, belts, and even pants. Whether the outfits took five hours or thirty seconds to make, they lasted all night. Blood and sweat was used to make our outfits. They were fit for kings, queens, and even jesters. Everyone had fun, and there were campers designing the outfit, judging, or modeling. My group made a fashionable one sleeve dress with a flower hair piece and stylish bracelet to match. When our model walked down the runway we knew we would win, and we did. It was really fun for everybody. -By Chocolate Milk
To conclude the night we watched Modern Family. Modern Family is a show that is about your typical family. Part of the reason we watched this show was because both of the writers are Jewish. In Modern Family, the characters have arguments that only bring them closer together. The three main families consist of A grandfather and his wife, Gloria, and Their son Manny. There is also Cameron and Mitchell, a gay couple who have an adopted child named Lily. The last family is Claire and Phil, and they have three children named Haley, Alex, and Luke. In the episode we watched, Phil and Claire switiched places and responsibilities. Some of the roles they switched included Claire taking Luke and Manny out and Phil taking charge of the house. -By Rami
