Hundreds of oldest division campers and staff from Moshava Ba’ir Long Island, Moshava Ba’ir MetroWest and Moshava Ba’ir New Jersey, came together for a day of friendly competition, achdut and chesed, in the first ever Tri-State MB Intercamps! Executive Director of Bnei Akiva US & Canada Rav Shaul Feldman greeted everyone and wished hatzlacha as the buses arrived at the MetroWest campus, located on the beautiful and expansive grounds of Kushner. Everyone was assigned to teams and geared up in their colored tees.

From a plethora of sporting events, to a meaningful program led by Orit Seif from Kedma Israel, it was quite the busy day! Throughout the day, games were heating up as i9 Sports professionals coached the teams through various rounds of hockey, basketball, flag football, soccer and much more!

The chesed component, with Kedma Israel, was particularly special during Tishat Hayamim, the Nine Days, a time to reflect and give back as part of Am Yisrael. Together, the campers and staff wrapped chocolate bars with thank you notes for chayalim, and packed school supplies for afikim, children at-risk in Israel.

The day finished off with a delicious dinner, Mincha and the trophy award ceremony. Congratulations to all the champions! It was such an incredible and uplifting way to culminate the first session of the summer—and everyone is looking forward to seeing what second session brings!
