HADRACHA
HADRACHA
It's the smell of fresh baked challah from the chadar. It's watching the sunset from the beach with your arms around your best friends. It's losing your voice singing songs at the top of your lungs and then dancing until you can't feel your feet anymore. It's Saturday morning sleep-ins and cinnamon buns. It's taking the time to reflect on all you accomplished last week and looking forward to what lies ahead. Shabbat at Solelim is about forming your own special traditions and feeling a part of something bigger.

At Solelim, we don’t “teach” Israel: we experience it with all our senses. The sounds of Israeli top 40 echoing through the campsite. The colourful building signs in Hebrew and in English. The smell of zatar sprinkled on top of pita roasted over an open campfire. Learning matkot on the beach. Israel at camp is our beloved Israeli staff and campers who connect us with contemporary music, film, dance, cuisine and culture. It is the everlasting friendships and the feeling of having family no matter which continent you live on.
