Last day of summer

Today is the last day of summer. When i went to Target today I bought Colbie Caillat, the perfect artist to keep summer going. She grew up in Malibu and her music is amazing. If you would like me to send you a copy of her music over aim or make you a copy of her cd let me know. Her music is like a girl version of John Mayer.

Kosher food

I knew when i was hired at camp that the food was going to be kosher. No meat and cheese together. The food at jca was ok, i would give it a grade of a B. Some meals were better then others. On saturday nights we always had the same thing. Cheese pizza with Coke and Diet coke mixed together(gross!!) and vanilla ice cream with a chocolate sauce. The pizza tasted good the first 2 times without anything on it. By the third week, i was taking olives or mushrooms from the salad bar and putting it on my pizza. The kitchen staff allowed the tables to get sprite if we had a pitcher. Soda was only on saturday nights.

Since i've been gone. 8 weeks is a long time

The King of Pop died. Everyone was really sad at camp about this. A lot of pre-teen boys came up to the Counselors to tell us he died. Some of us didn't believe that it was true, because of our source. But it is true, Michael Jackson died.

Kevin Jonas got engaged. All of my Jonas Brothers fan campers told me the whole scoop on when and where they are getting married. While others in the group did not care at all.

ZAC AND VANESSA WERE RUMORED TO BE ENGAGED!!!

This one had me worried everyone. I don't really care about the joe bros BUT i care about Zac. Zac is a beautiful individual and he is way too young to be walking down the aisle. He even thinks so. From Yahoo "While Zac keeps his private life private, he opened up, just a little, about his romantic life, if only to shoot down rumors he and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens have marriage on the mind.

"That was such bulls***,he said of recent nuptial rumors. "I'm definitely not getting married. In this business, you're either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I'm not getting married until I'm 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind. Maybe not 40. Maybe not until I'm 30," he quickly corrected himself."

Other stuff happened too. One of the Kardashian sisters is pregnant and a new Black eyed peas song came out.

My favorite parts of camp

This is one of my campers from third session. Her name is Maya. She loves wicked, and Legally Blonde and plays cello. She was a great camper. 

I'm trying to sum up camp in different sections. My favorite parts of camp are shabbat. Shabbat is when one gets another sole, that makes them holy. Shabbat is a time to reflect on the week and its a time to also rest from the busy work week. At camp we wore white and pretty ourselves up. In my cabin we would have competitions to see who could get completely ready for shabbat the fastest and I would open my hair shop called "jamie's beautiful super fantastic shabbat hair shop", which one of my campers made up. Each week a different age group got to lead shabbat.My favorite prayer during shabbat is the prayer where we bless our campers Y'varech Cha. This prayer is actually when parents bless their children. The melody we sing at camp is very pretty.

These are my campers from second session.

Another favorite part of camp is called Havdallah, its where we say goodbye to shabbat and hello to the work week. At our camps we would get in circles based on our unit(Age group) and there were 3 things that people would hold. A glass of wine, a candle, and spices. We would light the candle and then after the prayer and smelling the spices we put the candle into the glass of wine and this ends Shabbat. Then everyone goes around wishing everyone a good week.

(sorry its so small)

First shabbat ever at camp jca!!!!

This is a picture from my first shabbat at camp JCA shalom. Everyone wears white and gets all pretty. We have a big service outside and then we have dinner and have a dance after.
