I was 14 and it was the first time I met so many Jewish kids in one place, it was weird and exciting at the same time. It was also a first time i've met real Israelis and heard hebrew, which was very useful as I made Aliya a couple of months after the camp.

In 2016 I visited the Jewish Agency's camp for the first time (and that year I found out that my dad was a madrich also).
It was such a great time and experience so since that I've been a participant every year, then there was one clear decision - to become a madrich and now I'm working as a program director of this camp.
And it's so exciting to make such jewish camps for new generations.

Дмитрий Файнерман, Санкт - Петребург, Россия. Еврейский Семейный Центр "Адаин Ло". Я попал в лагерь Адаин Ло в 1998 году, потому что искал место, в котором меня примут такого, какой я есть. Меня абсолютно потрясли свобода внутри команды и доверие с которым ко мне отнеслись. Я остался в команде, потом нашел себе жену :) Мы родили троих детей. Теперь я директор лагеря)))

Anastasia Zhitova, MENORA CAMPS, Yekaterinburg.

В семейном лагере, где я мадриховала впервые, был шабат на улице, весь лагерь, все мадрихи и семьи, проводили кабалат, делясь историями из жизни, связанными с общиной. Атмосферы подобной той, я больше не видела нигде и никогда. Именно тогда поняла, что я на своём месте и хочу быть частью этого.
