YOM NCSY!!

Dear Mom and Dad,
Yom NCSY was crazy fun! When we first got there, a seminary fair was held for incoming eleventh and twelfth graders. It allowed different seminaries to show themselves off to possible applicants, like us. It was really cool to hear what all of them had to offer as well as see some of my friends from home who are on different summer programs! After, we had a barbecue where I had the chance to introduce my friends from home to my friends on Euro ICE. The food was delicious and making new friends was really cool! They gave us a chance to daven Mincha and then the party started! We were welcomed with fireworks and a concert. There was dancing, singing, and everyone joined together with such unity. In between songs, there were videos of different summer programs buses throughout the summer which all looked extremely fun! Additionally, the mother of Naftali Frankel talked about her point of view of the tragedy that happened with her son last summer. It was really inspirational to hear her talk about how we are all such a united family! Finally, it was polished off with balloons bouncing around everyone’s head, fireworks, and cheers from all. Yom NCSY was an incredible and fun experience that exceeded all my expectations! Can’t wait for the rest of this amazing summer program!
Miss you lots, Michelle
