What is the Shabbat experience at Galil?

Created: February 21, 2020 | by Camp Galil

At Galil we offer a supportive Jewish cultural environment in which all our campers can thrive. Shabbat is a true celebration of Jewish life at Camp Galil. Each Friday afternoon, campers begin special preparations to greet Shabbat. Before the traditional Shabbat dinner, one age group leads the camp in a Kabbalat Shabbat followed by Israeli singing and folkdancing. Optional services are available.

On Saturday our campers enjoy a more relaxed experience in which they choose their activities — anything from playing music and reading to discussing current events and participating in sports.

Shabbat ends with a Havdalah service under the stars followed by musical, poetic, and comedic performances from our camper
