Ticos (the slang word for Costa Ricans) are some of the warmest, most loving people I’ve ever met and I know we’ll be welcomed by all our hosts with open arms. Get ready to eat gallo pinto for breakfast, get up close and personal with the Jewish population of CR, and learn all about the wonders of the most beautiful country in the world!
Top 5 Things to Look Forward to at BAMC!
You’ll be receiving an email soon with lots of information to get you more excited, but for now here’s a top five list of things to look forward to…
UMC Staff Can’t Wait to Meet You!
I truly can not wait to spend the summer working, learning, living, and laughing with 38 amazing teens who are devoting their summer to make New Brunswick, NJ, and the world, a better place!
Yotzer-WHAT?!
What the Yotzer means to me is finding brilliance in the mundane, and using the summer program magic to make ordinary moments extraordinary… We know that our participants are here with us, doing activities they could be doing anywhere. But they aren’t. They are choosing to do them with us, and we honor that by creating memories and experience that will last a lifetime. At our fingertips we have capitve audiences, participants who are here because they are looking to have the time of their lives.
Gearing Up for Summer
We are not simply creating evening programs, or an education lesson, or a better method for distributing mail. We are creating a community!
New Orleans Jazz
Tonight we attended an amazing jazz performance by the Tornado Brass Band at New Orleans’ historic Preservation Hall This was a great way to experience this culture firsthand, as New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz.
Goodbye, MCS!
Throughout much of the program, students participated in the planning and implementation of activities. Havdalah and the closing programs were no exception. Following our dinner in fine style in the famous Tujague’s Restaurant in the French Quarter, we gathered back at the hotel for Havdalah.
