The MTA building is bereft of its students, so it was time to start visiting the talmidim where they are spending their summers. Visits began last week with a trip to Camp Kaylie and Camp HASC. The MTA talmidim and recent graduates were enjoying color war at Kaylie, some as campers, and others as staff, while the MTA alumni at HASC were hard at work caring for their special campers. Each talmid was given a Summer Swag T-shirt and doughnuts.

Seeing the talmidim living their best summer lives is especially rewarding, as it is known that informal education can play such an important role in the growth of bnei Torah. It brought nachas to those who saw the talmidim in their element, and joy to the talmidim who were reunited with teachers and rebbeim.
