Dear Parents, While many of our chanichim have already returned home this past week, as our six session concluded our Machal and Avodah chanichim returned back to the Machane today from their trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This Shabbat they will be joined by Rabbi Reuven Brand, Rosh Kollel of YU Kollel Torah Mitzion of Chicago and his family for one last inspiring Shabbat in the Machaneh. We have had a wonderful summer with all of your children and we thank you for entrusting us with them. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful tzevet for all of their hard work and dedication this summer. A special thank you to our Rosh Mosh, Yitzi Matanky who has served as the Rosh Moshava for the past five summers. We wish him Hatzlacha as he begins his new position as Executive Director of YU Kollel Torah Mitzion of Chicago. Please read along about what has been happening in the Machaneh this week. Remember to check our website (www.moshavawildrose.org) and Facebook page for daily pictures and updates.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom,

Goodbye to Our Six Week Chanichim: Â After a meaningful final Shabbat, the chanichim enjoyed their final night swim. The next day, the entire Machaneh headed to the Wisconsin Dells for a day at the Kalahari indoor amusement park. After mini golfing, laser tagging, go carting, ropes coursing, and Ferris wheeling we returned to camp for a night game of mystery envelope. Monday, packing day, also featured the last segment of the tochnit. Each kvutzah was assigned a different stage of the Six Day War and instructed to film a short video reenacting the events. The videos were then combined with clips from the history channel. After the annual last night talent show the chanichim watched the Six Day War video and a montage of the entire summer. |

Message from Rabbi Danny Kroll: Happenings From the Hill/Avodah II Tuesday morning, as the rest of Machaneh was sleeping, the members of Machal and Avodah embarked on their end of summer trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. After an early davening we boarded a coach bus headed for the Wisconsin-Michigan border for what would be an unforgettable four day, three night journey. At 9:30 am, after a three hour bus ride we reached Niagra, WI for whitewater rafting down the Menominee River. Led by trained guides, rafts full of chanichim rushed over 12 and 8 foot rapids, for a truly exhilarating two hour ride. Raft-mates worked as a team, paddling, leaning and “locking down” to insure a safe and successful mission. There was unanimous agreement amongst the group that the rafting trip was the best and most unique trip of the summer. |

Dear Parents, Grandparents and Alumni,
Last year we produced a calendar for our Moshava campers which included pictures from the summer, important dates and special birthdays. As we prepare to celebrate 75 years of Moshava, Wild Rose and Rolling Prairie, we are putting together a special calendar which will include photos from the past seven decades along with current photos and more.
Last year’s calendar was a wonderful success and we look forward to even more participation this year on our 75th anniversary!
Best wishes,
Allison Bellows

Visitors’ Day Notes
Today marked the second and final day of Maccabia. After Day One, Team Kibbutz (green) took control of the lead.
After many activites and times full of ruach, Team Yishuv (red) claimed victory by 400 points.
Tomorrow consists of bowling, rollerblading, and Funset Boulevard.
Monday night began with chanichim walking down the candle-lit path to Beit Yaakov Levi to hear a simultaneous slideshow presentation and Eicha. Before and after each perek of Eicha, a part of the presentation would be shown explaining the meaning behind the fast. After Eicha, the older eidah partook in an optional slow shira near the outdoor beit knesset.
Tuesday began with Shachrit and Kinot. Chanichim split into groups and learned the meaning behind certain kinot. Afterward, the enitre Machaneh gathered on the hill to bury the genizah, a long standing tradition at Machaneh.
A presentation on Gush Katif was given to everyone by Revital Shifman, one of the Israeli tzevet members at the Machaneh. Shifman lived in Gush Katif until it was given to the Palestinian Authority in August 2005.
After Shifman’s presentation, the chanichim gathered on the waffle court for slow shira until Maariv. Following Maariv, everyone gathered in the Chadar Ochel to break the fast.
At Aruchat Erev, it seemed that there was no more food. Not to worry, it was only a “fake Maccabia break-out”. After serving ice cream bars, some of which had wrappers containing the message that it is actually Maccabia and that the chanichim should tell their peers, the chanichim broke out into a chant of “MACCABIA” and Rosh Mosh Yitzi Mantanky announced the teams, Kibbutz (wearing green) vs. Yishuv (red).
Hatzlacha Rabah to the teams representing two of the kinds of special living areas in Israel. Check back to see which team claims victory.
