Camp Landau Color War 2010

One of the summer highlights for boys in Ramat Beit Shemesh, is the famous Camp Landau. Headed by Rabbi Yehoshua Landau, the camp celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

With amazing, energetic and talented staff, the boys enjoy great sports, swimming, and awesome day trips (the beach, water parks and more).

The camp usually runs from after Tisha b'Av for 2 weeks, providing kids a great, wholesome and fun environment.
For girls, Mrs. Landau runs Bnos (girls 1st grade and up) and Camp Kinderlach (younger ages for boys and girls).

As parents we have so much Hakoros HaTov to Rabbi and Mrs. Landau for the wonderful camps they run each summer.

One of the most exciting parts of camp is color war. Above is a video of the first day of color war. Team White got some Breslov guys to come with their white van and dance with all the campers. Check it out...

Mountain Biking with Sheep in Israel

Although I usually try to write about stuff that most normal people enjoy, like nice swimming pools and petting farms near Ramat Beit Shemesh, I get a bit carried away when it comes to small, Kosher, woolly quadrupeds.

On a recent mountain bike ride in the beautiful Judean Hills near Ramat Beit Shemesh, my friend Nachum Wassosky of Hakshiva fame, snapped this shot of myself, my Scott Aspect bike and some Bedouin sheep, with his Nokia E71.

As my close friends know, I love biking and aspire to be a shepherd, so this picture nicely combined the two.
