Tzeirei Hashluchim Camp’s 4-Day Inspiring Journey in Israel

After 3 weeks in Tzfas, Yeshivas Kayitz Tzeirei Hashluchim recently embarked on a deeply meaningful 4-day trip, filled with inspiration, reflection, and connection.

Thursday began by traveling down to Sderot, where they were met by the Shliach, Rabbi Pizem, who shared his experiences of life under constant rocket attacks and the recent tragic Simchas Torah pogrom.

The group also visited the local police station, which was where one of the battles took place on October 7. They then proceeded to the sites of the car cemetery in Takuma and the Nova festival at Re’im, where they heard the tragic story firsthand from a survivor. Their visit brought out emotional niggunim as they recited heartfelt Tehillim for the safe return of the hostages and quick healing of injured soldiers. The day concluded with a visit to daven at Kever Rachel.

On Friday the group moved up to explore Yerushalayim’s ancient history at Ir David, followed by lunch and shopping for Shabbos at the lively Shuk.

Shabbos in the Old City was a spiritual highlight. The bochurim enjoyed a moving seder niggunim at the Kotel, davened at the Tzemach Tzedek Shul, and walked around the Old City, absorbing its holiness. In the afternoon they were deeply inspired by a soldier’s account of his recent mission in Gaza.

Sunday was both reflective and hands-on. After visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, the students participated in assisting the needy of Eretz Yisroel at Pantry Packers and had a special IDF experience. The highlight of the day was a BBQ dinner at an army base, where they connected and danced with the soldiers.

Late Sunday night, the group returned to Tzfas, enriched by their journey—both physically and spiritually.
